C.J. SAGUNTO PORT. Wind of Marinade, s/n
From 2014 he Splash del Port de Sagunto welcomes us to the world of comics with a juicy offer that this year starts with Hermann Huppen, a referent of the comic Franco-Belgian since 1964, series author The Bois-Mouri towers (Planet), which, set in the Middle Ages, narrates the misadventures of a family saga going through the social strata of the feudal system. He has also dealt with contemporary issues such as the conflict in the Balkans Sarajevo tango, in collaboration with his son Yves H. Another veteran, but this one from the earth, and Miguel Calatayud, who will receive the Una vida de vignettes prize for his work within the New Valencian School of comics since the years 70. He has won the National Illustration Award three times for works that include children's works (at the Center del Carmen you can see originals of Glory be to you, the book he made together with Carlos Pérez), philosophical and adult fiction. The Texan glitter Tillie Walden surprised the world with the autobiographical work Pirouettes (The Dome) about a lesbian skater and the 2019 published what, for Splash organizers, it was one of the most suggestive works of the year, in a ray of sunshine. It will receive the Award for Best International Album 2019. These are just three of the interesting authors you can discover in the Splash, but there is much more: Agustín Ferrer (Mies), Laura Perez (Hidden), Julia Vicente (sleep town), Mamen Moreu (Dolores and Lolo), Pedro Riera and Sagar (Intisar in exile) o Ricardo Vilbor (The old man and the drug dealer).
