COMIC INVASION BERLIN FESTIVAL 2026
COMIC INVASION BERLIN FESTIVAL 2026
Berlin‘s most colourful comic festival is back. For everyone & by everyone!
Comic Invasion Berlin has been the capital’s most colorful comic festival since 2012, for everyone and for free.
In addition to book tables with fresh comics, the festival offers all sorts of events where the art form of comics is entertainingly put into action. There are exhibitions , workshops for young and old, hands-on activities and a reading corner for children, a satellite event program at various Berlin comic venues and a comic competition for Berliners of all ages, the results of which will be published in an exhibition, an award ceremony and in a printed book.
CIB sees itself as a platform for Berliners and beyond, a festival by comic enthusiasts for comic enthusiasts. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome to do so!
Comic Invasion Berlin 2026 will take place on May 9 and 10 at the Museum for Communication Berlin.
With the competition, FRAMES UNBOUND – Comics without borders!
This year we invite you: Break the Barrier! Our competition theme FRAMES UNBOUND is a celebration of boundless creativity – a call to break conventions, explore new forms and tell stories that transcend boundaries – real and imagined.
What does that mean for your comic?
No panels? No problem! Your story doesn’t have to be squeezed into boxes. It can flow across the page(s) like a great waterfall or wind its way through a labyrinth!
What happens when the characters break out of their frame? Perhaps your hero simply climbs out of the picture and continues next door?
Who or what do you want to set free? Your thoughts? Your imagination? A character who refuses to be pigeonholed? Show us a world without barriers and prejudices!
DE. COMIC INVASION BERLIN ist seit 2012 das bunteste Comicfestival der Hauptstadt, bei dem Künstler*innen und Verlage ihre neuen Arbeiten vorstellen und sich vernetzen können.
