Camões
Secondary School (Lisbon) held this week the 1st Camões Comics and Animation Festival, coordinated by teachers António Sales,
Elsa Costa and Filipe Duarte, with a short program that aims to
introduce young students to the world of comics. The lineup invited
authors Daniel Maia (myself) and Rita Alfaiate for a comic book
presentation and workshop, respectively, plus a comics competition.
For
my part, I had the opportunity to speak briefly about the fundamental
concepts of comic book creation and my own practice, using as an
example the production of graphic novel CoBrA: Operation
Goa (Ala dos Livros), and I also spoke about the international
industry, with reference to project The Boy in the Bot.
