COMICON – International Pop Culture Festival, also commonly known as Napoli Comicon, is an annual Comic book convention and pop culture festival in Naples, Italy, held since 1998 during the spring. It is one of the largest and most influential comics and pop culture festivals in Europe.




History


Napoli Comicon is an international cultural festival, focused on comics and multi-genre entertainment, which takes place every year in Naples, Italy, for four days (three days until 2011, except in 2008, which was held for four days) usually in late April or beginning of May. The festival is located at the Mostra d'Oltremare exhibition and convention center (until 2009 at Castel Sant'Elmo, except the 2000 edition, held in Villa Pignatelli). The first edition dates back to 1998. In the 2010 and 2011 editions, the two venues of Castel Sant'Elmo and Mostra d'Oltremare both hosted the event.
In 2001, comics journalist and Disney expert Luca Boschi became Cultural Director of the event, taking care of the comics program until 2016. In 2006, the same organisation launched, also in Naples, Gamecon, a gaming convention.
After the 2009 edition's success, with far more visitors than expected, the event was moved to the larger and more spacious convention center Mostra d'Oltremare. In January 2010, the organization determined that Comicon would be divided into two venues for the 2010 edition, one focused mainly on comics and cinema/TV contents, the other on video games, games, cosplay: the traditional festival venue, Castel Sant'Elmo, hosted publishers (except Panini and J-Pop Manga), screenings, talks, awards, the Imago contest and the comics related exhibitions; the trade show venue, Mostra d'Oltremare, hosted the cosplay contests, booths of games and video games publishers (including a particularly large Nintendo area, with several Wii consoles available to the audience), and the comic book stores, game or video game stores and distributors. That merge of Comicon and Gamecon events resulted in a single multi-genre convention that spans a wide range of entertainment contents: comics, cinema, TV series, video games, board games, animation, cosplay. Also since that year, the winner of the cosplay competition is selected for a competitive cosplay contest in a foreign country (in 2010 : the finals of the Eurocosplay Championship, in London).
Since 2011, the spin-off event Salerno Comicon was held in Salerno, Italy, until 2015. In 2012, Comicon moved the entire event to the Mostra d'Oltremare convention center. The decision was made following a survey done by the organization itself, through its official Facebook page. Also in 2012 edition, the "Asian Village" area was created within the festival, as a space entirely focused on anime, manga and Asian culture.
In 2014 the same company started VideoGameShow, co-organized with ESL Italia, an "innovative" convention focused on gaming, creators and digital entertainment that lasted for five editions, some in Naples and others in Milan, Italy.
In late 2018, comics expert and media scholar Matteo Stefanelli was appointed Comicon's first artistic director. Comicon Naples was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but a smaller-scale "Comicon Extra" offline and online program was held both years, followed by the return of the main show in 2022. In 2023, Comicon expanded with a second edition in Bergamo from June 23 to 25 on the occasion of Bergamo–Brescia Italian Capitals of Culture 2023. The first edition of Comicon Bergamo was held in the pavilions of the Fiera di Bergamo.




Features


The festival offers panels, workshops with authors and professionals, screeenings, previews of upcoming feature films or TV series, meet & greet opportunities with creators and/or actors, portfolio review sessions with top comics publishers, and the COMICON/Micheluzzi awards ceremony. Like most comics and pop culture festivals, COMICON features a large floorspace for exhibitors, indoor and outdoor, an autograph area, and an area devoted to fanzines and self-published comic books, Small Press Area. Among the companies exhibiting : comics publishers, retailers and sitributors ; video games publishers and retailers; esports organizers and teams ; toys and RPG companies and collectible merchants ; anime and manga publishers, retailers and distributors ; movie/TV companies and streaming services.
In the various editions, numerous artists in the industry, both national and international, have been present as guests, including Milo Manara, Frank Miller, Sergio Toppi, David Lloyd, Jim Lee and Gō Nagai.
In addition to the main event, exhibitions were also added that could be visited on days preceding and/or following the event itself, as well as other exhibitions and events (included in the so-called "COMIC(ON)OFF" program) placed in urban locations outside the main venue of the event (e.g., cultural institutes, museums, stores, galleries).




= Themed Editions

=
Some COMICON editions have had one or more countries as guests to whom part of the event's program is dedicated: several exhibitions, screenings, lectures and meetings have been devoted to artists and works of comics and animation from those countries.
Since the 2007 edition, the central theme has shifted from nation (to which a comics school corresponds) to color, chosen from the five basic colors of letterpress printing (cyan, magenta, yellow, green and black). Each of these colors is associated with references and symbolism of various types and kinds that serve as a common thread for the various initiatives presented.
Starting in 2011 COMICON inaugurated another four-year cycle that aims to link Comics, understood as "Ninth Art," with the other arts, showing in the program the interactions and mutual influences. Each year one of the arts was the protagonist in a specific way: in 2011 it was the turn of Music, while in 2012 the relationship between Comics and Literature was explored, taking the place of the announced Architecture, which was the protagonist of the 2013 edition. In 2014 the main theme, which closed the cycle of the interaction of comics with the arts, was Comics and Cinema.




= Awards

Characteristic of the event are the Micheluzzi Award (named after Attilio Micheluzzi), which are awarded each year in various categories to the authors and publishers of comics of the moment, and, since the 2005 edition, the COMICON Cosplay Challenge (also with various prizes), which takes place in the auditorium (since 2010 on an outdoor stage in the Mostra d'Oltremare) on the last day of the fair (Sunday, in the 2012 edition). Other fixed activities of the event include the Imago competition, a drawing contest with a social theme (each year with a different theme) reserved for elementary and junior high school students, and whose winners for the various categories are decided by the visitors themselves, through a secret ballot.
