The venue will play host to a number of different exhibitions, including a look at the presence of westerns in comic books, 75 years of Superman, graphic humour, the current economic crisis, “Quaderns de viatge”, which focuses on authors who create their drawings while visiting foreign countries, or two exhibitions dedicated to the artistic careers of two of the key Spanish comic book authors, Miguel Ambrosio Zaragoza ‘Ambros’, the creator of Capitán Trueno, and José Ortiz, among others.
 
There will also be a children’s area which will include activities directed at this audience in particular and, as every year, prizes will be awarded, for which a number of Spanish and foreign authors have been nominated.
