Montevideo international comic and cartoon festival started out in 2002 and since then it has grown into one of the main cultural events in Uruguay. Through the PICE mobility grants, AC/E is supporting the presence of Rubén Pellejero, one of Spain’s most highly acclaimed comic strip authors, and Javier de Isusi, one of the most promising new names in Spanish comic strip design.
Both men are visiting Uruguay for the first time to attend Montevideo Comics 2016. The hiring of Pellejero for the return of the Corto Maltés, a world classic, and Isusi’s meteoric Latin American career make them an ideal combination who have in common journeys and adventure as the subject of their comic strips. Lectures, sessions with children and colleagues, exhibitions and portfolio reviews are some of the scheduled activities designed to ensure they leave their mark on the venue.
