Comic manifesto
The comic manifesto was adopted in September 2013 as part of the Berlin International Literature Festival . It seeks greater recognition of comics as an art form .
content
The manifesto addresses the fact that comics, like other arts or media (such as film , music , opera or theater ) are given a lot of attention and are also recognized, but, in contrast, hardly receive any funding. In the first part of the text of the manifesto, for example, financial support is required for authors , illustrators and publishers .
The second part aims to set up an institute for comics, which supports comic makers, deals scientifically with comics and serves education.
Supporters and criticism
The text found almost 100 first signatories, including Titus Ackermann , Bela B. , Martin tom Dieck , Andreas C. Knigge , Stefan Neuhaus , Mawil and Ulrich Wickert . It is criticized that the focus is on the financial aspect and that several well-known artists are not represented as supporters; so missing u. a. Flix and Ralf König . In addition, graphic novels are mentioned, but other forms of comic such as mangas are omitted.
