I really enjoyed this years Fumetto-festival. Especially the great exhibitions. My favorites were Nicolas Mahler (AT), of course, with his new book “Engelmann”, the Jack Kirby exhibiton, Brecht Evens (BE) (look out for this guy in the future) and Souther Salazar (US). I met cartoonists from all over Europe and America, and visited Strapazin in Zürich. My comic “Junction stories” was exhibited in the “Kornschütte” in the centre of the old part of Luzern. I got to see a really cool “Totentanz” there as well, I think it was from the 17th century. Except for the Swiss beer, which to my surprise I don’t like very much, it was an enjoyable and inspiring weekend at the Fumetto festival.

I will post a travel report from Luzern when I return.
Junction stories #1
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010This is my contribution to the Fumetto-competition in Luzern, Switzerland this year. It’s deals with a certain point in the lives of five people, and how they all affect each other in different ways. This is visualized by a labyrinth or web of storylines where the intersections are the junctions referred to in the title. The junctions occur when the different characters meet each other, and the story then takes a different turn. I’m planning to expand on this topic, hence the #1 in the title.
