From September 27th-30th 2012 Fiera of Rome 
Address: Via Portuense, 1645 – www.romics.it
It’s time for the 12th edition of “Romics”, the great international festival of comics, animations and games. Once again there will be 4 days of continuous events with performances and film showing for every taste. National and international masters of the art of comics will take turns on the stage to receive the “Romics d’oro” and describe their artistic careers, with details of the technique and theory behind their creations. This year’s illustrious guests include Massimiliano Frezzato, one of the leading Italian illustrators and authors of comics whose work has been published throughout Europe and in the United States. As usual, many authors, in agreement with their publishing houses, will present new and forthcoming publications to their admiring public. Special events include the competition “Romics/Castelli Animati/Tutto Digitale” reserved to home animation videos, the spectacular “flash mob”, first of its kind, dedicated to comics, and the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Spider Man, Marvel’s much loved super-hero.
Last, this year’s keenly awaited Cosplay contest will offer fans the chance to dress up as their favorite heroes, sure attraction for thousands of young people from all over Italy.
