Digital Meetup with the Winner of the Comic Book Prize
A special edition of the Renate Comic Library’s digital comics meetup, in cooperation with the Berthold Leibinger Foundation.
The mentor this time is comic artist Franz Suess, who received the 25,000 EUR Comic Book Award of the Berthold Leibinger Foundation in 2023. In the award-winning book “Jakob Neyder”, Franz Suess tells the story of the outsider Jakob, who tries to escape his responsibility for a criminal offence. A crime without necessity that triggers feelings of guilt in him. At the digital meetup, the award-winning artist will give an insight into his work. Born in 1961, Franz Suess studied painting and graphic art at the University of Art in Linz. He lives and works in Vienna. The award-winning volume will comprise around 170 pages and be completed by mid-2024.
Renate is a comics library and store founded in the 1990s in the heart of Berlin. Hosting two monthly meetups (one digital, the other one in the library), it is a place where people interested in making or reading comics come to meet, drink, talk and swap their self-published comics and zines.
