Comic Book Venue
The purpose of the Comic Book Venue and comic book shows is to demonstrate the close connection between literature and (so it would seem) non-literary characters such as Corto Maltese, Dylan Dog, and Captain Nitrate.
Visitors may want to use this opportunity to meet comic book authors from the country and abroad, as well as to attend comic book panels, lectures, and performances by eminent comic book fans and authors.
