Event Report - FIBDA 2010

This year event was dedicated to the 100th birthday of the portuguese republic, with many works related to the satire of portuguese people and the events during the implantation of the republic. It also exhibited some comics with almost 100 years, pretty well conserved!

This year there wasn't an official cosplay event, because there weren't enough conditions to support the event, but still some contestants still appeared. It had some awesome installations with comics and sculptures of some artists but in general it was a bit weaker in relation to last year. The japanese section was a bit short for my taste, but had a huge scroll exposed over the walls with a colab work of many artists. It also featured a video installation with an animation of ancient japanese drawings.

The courageous ones who still came to the event

1/2 of the wall scroll
GUNMM Mangas Collection, 18 books 
I also bought the full collection of the GUNMM manga which I wasn't expecting to find and it was well worth the price, it's an specular cyberpunk story from the 90's, although it's a bit gore'ish :P
