Since I didn\u2019t want to push down my post about the planned Gaia<\/em> anthology<\/a> after just a day, I waited a couple of days before posting the following report about my visit of the Comic Con in Stuttgart:<\/p>\n

After my visits in 2016<\/a>, 2017<\/a> and 2018<\/a>, I also visited the Comic Con Germany in Stuttgart<\/strong> last weekend. It was once again a lot of fun. This time I focused on buying original artwork and chatting with fellow German comic artists. Like always, I also saw an enormous number of cosplayers with great costumes. In this post, you can have a look at all the photos I took with some added commentary. You can click on each photo to see a larger version of it. The article contains the following sections:<\/p>\n

    Impressions from the fair<\/h3>\n

    The entrance area a few minutes before opening at 9 o\u2019clock:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    The main hall right after opening:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Stands for artists and small publishers:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    More artist stands:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A great monster statue at the Ghostbusters<\/em> area:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A view of the main hall from the gallery:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    The entrance area of the main hall:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Merchandising stands from above:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Recreation of a battle from Lord of the Rings<\/em> with miniature figures:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    The telephone box from the Doctor Who<\/em> TV series:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    You were also able to fight with light sabers:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Good ol\u2019 booth babes! Yay!
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Artists I met or saw<\/h3>\n

    Duck artist Arild Mithund gave a short presentation about his work and the medium:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    My fellow German webcomic artists Sarah Burrini<\/a> and Mario B\u00fchling<\/a> signing some books:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Sarah talking on stage with Andre Lux<\/a>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Swabian comedian Dodokay was also present this year again:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Comic artist and Sandra and Woo<\/em> fan Cleo-San<\/a>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Artwork I bought<\/h3>\n

    I\u2019m always happy to see raccoons in artwork. I can\u2019t make out the signature, though. It looks like “Seff”, but that does nor sound like a real name nor like a nickname. Goddamnit, artists, how hard is it to put a legible name on your drawings?!
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A fantastic bird by Mandy Frank<\/a>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A sword by Mandy Frank<\/a> that goes very nicely with the bird regarding its layout, style and coloration:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A lovely drawing of two girls in manga style. Without any signature, though. Sigh.
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A lovely drawing of a red fox by Cleo-San<\/a> and four funny monster drawings by Stella Bialek<\/a>. Unfortunately, I placed one of the wrong way when taking the photo:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Since I still have so many unread comics at home, I bought only one comic, a very nicely drawn fantasy comic:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Artist Florian Biege<\/a> also drew a great sketch into the book:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A collection of funny postcards:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    More funny postcards:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    More funny postcards:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A print of a fantastic drawing of a tiger with great colors by Lunakia<\/a>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    An owl in the same style:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    He is Groot:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A Disney Infinity statue of Rocket Raccoon. I\u2019m not interested in the game, but the statues have a very good quality regarding their price:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Cosplay I saw<\/h3>\n

    The dinosaur was at the con again, and again he drew a large crowd wherever he went:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Thanos and the Guardians of the Galaxy:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    I finally saw a Megumin from KonoSuba<\/em>! Yay! Too bad she was missing her signature hat. It would have made her costume perfect:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Yuna from Final Fantasy X<\/em>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Megumin with Tortoro:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Pickle Rick?
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Toy Story<\/em> characters:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    The medusa costume was impressive:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    This does not look very practical. So I guess the character is either from Star Wars,<\/em> from an anime or a Japanese video game:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    The Star Wars<\/em> area was full of semi-professional cosplayers:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    San from Princess Mononoke<\/em>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A self-made Steampunk costume:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    The back bag was particularly impressive with the glowing light bulbs and mushrooms:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    ASDF:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    There was an awesome<\/strong> Mad Max<\/em> area with two cars, a motorbike and a large tent:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    I think this one said that his character isn\u2019t based on any existing property:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl. Hit-Girl is one of my favorite characters so I was very excited so see her:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    This Deadpool danced to music he played on his portable music player:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    There were some nice photo screens with fitting objects from popular franchises:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    All furries go to Hufflepuff:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    More furries:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    I don\u2019t know the character, but the costume looked cool:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    This joker had great facial expressions:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Doctor Who<\/em> fans in front of the telephone box:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    So many cosplayers…
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    My mother is a big fan of I Dream of Jeannie<\/em> so she like this photo in particular. To bad that the guy\u2019s head does not look like that of Major Tony Nelson at all:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    A very convincing Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter<\/em>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Purpur tentacle from the classic adventure game Day of the Tentacle<\/em>:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    These two would actually make a great team (the Dude from The Big Lebowski<\/em> and Master Roshi from Dragon Ball<\/em>):
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Dumbledore and Voldemort:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    Dumbledore, Voldemort and Draco Malfoy:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    I found Wally!
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    More cosplay:
    \n    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

    The LEGO area<\/h3>\n
