Independent market, guests

The Lucerne Comics Festival not only exhibits selected comic artists' works, but also encourages integration and dialogue. Fumetto's Independent Market sets the stage for such interaction. The artists come together with a panel of specially invited international guests, guaranteeing an intensive and beneficial exchange of opinions and information within the independent comic-scene. This once again proves Fumetto's reputation as an important melting pot for freelance artists.

Ben Katchor


Ben Katchor has been drawing for the well-known "Raw"magazine since the seventies. Originally inspired by the early US-punk scene, he is known for his work with Metropolis, Escape and the weekly comic strips "Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer" and "The Cardboard Valise", which was published in around 12 American newspapers. The New York Times wrote: "The most poetic, deeply layered artist ever to draw a comic". www.katchor.com

Paulo Patricio was born in Angola in 1973. Apart from his work with various Fanzines (e.g. the Cru), he was also heavily involved in organisational areas. In 1995 his own mini-comic "Com a mesma moeda" appeared in the Editores Independent Associados (EIA), of which he was a co-founder. Patricio has also published the comic-series' "O Piqueno", "Heróis de trazer por casa" and Canção do Bandido".

Reinhard Kleist


Reinhard Kleist (32) was honoured with the Max-and-Moritz-Prize at the 1996 Comic-Salon in Erlangen for his album "Lovecraft". He's published comics with Ehapa, Eichborn, Jochen, Reprodukt and Edition 52, (in September 2001 the 144-page volume "Fucked" Reprodukt). Has lived in Berlin since 1996 and enjoys painting the odd house wall or two.

Oliver Douzou was born in 1963 and has published countless children's books with Editions du Rouergue. His work as an author and illustrator seems to be just not quite enough for him. Apart from the responsibility of being in charge of the Jeunesse Collection and at the same time Art Director of the Editions du Rouergue, father/ family man Douzou also works in communication & graphics.

The young art student has also released numerous Fanzines in small numbers, e.g. "Stad", Almanac", "I-Scream", and "Alingua". Nova Comix published Carvalhos' "Eat & Spit" album. She continues her support of the Portugese comic's scene by working as a co-organiser on Comics-Festivals in Porto and Lisbon.

Thierry Van Hasselt is from Brussels, Belgium, and will be honouring Fumetto 2002 on the Independent Market.
