Um die Ecke und Das Ende (ist noch nicht vorbei)

For over 30 years, the International Comic Artists’ Workshop has been held in Erlangen on an annual basis. In the mid-1980s, when a university education in comics was still out of the question in Germany, this workshop – initiated by Paul Derouet in collaboration with Erlangen’s French Cultural Institute and the Cultural Office of the City of Erlangen – was the only one of its kind and plugged a huge gap in the market. A week of intense work, for which around 20 experienced illustrators are selected, is administered by internationally renowned comic artists. At each edition of the Comic Salon, the results of the last two workshops are traditionally presented to the public.
