Lucca Comics & Games
Lucca Comics & Games is an annual Comic book convention, comic book and gaming convention in Lucca, Italy, traditionally held at the end of October, in conjunction with All Saints' Day. It is the largest comics festival in Europe, and the second biggest in the world after the Comiket.

(Funding issues also forced the cancellation of the 1988 festival.) A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
