The fair of the 20th Erlangen International Comic Salon will take place from 16 to 19 June 2022. Featuring around 200 exhibitors, including German and international publishing companies, agencies, comic dealers as well as service companies and vendors of products related to comic art, graphic literature, cartoons, manga, illustration and animation, the festival hosts the most important comic fair in the German-speaking realm. At the request of a majority of exhibitors as well as numerous visitors, the comic fair in 2020 was meant to be located again in temporary marquees. However, due to the Corona pandemic, the last festival had to be cancelled. In 2022 the fair of the 20th International Comic Salon will once again take place in modern marquees – intended locations are the Schlossplatz and the Schlossgarten.
