Comix 2000

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Comix 2000 is a 2047 page comic book in which 324 authors from 29 countries participated. It was published by the Paris publisher L'Association at the turn of the millennium into the 21st century .

The idea of ​​bringing out a black and white volume with 2000 pages of comics in 2000 came to Anne Baraou a few years before its publication. In the period that followed, the staff at L'Association did not take the idea seriously at first because it seemed impossible to them, but then they considered it seriously and decided to implement it.

In order to make Comix 2000 internationally readable, Lewis Trondheim and Jean-Yves Duhoo suggested in 1998 that all comics contained should be silent, i.e. without text. The proposal was accepted and stated as one of the conditions for the subscribers. The other conditions were between three and 15 pages and the 20th century as the theme for the story. At the beginning of 1999 the publisher sent 1200 letters in order to win over some of the still unknown and unpublished but also established comic artists for the project. David B. , Killoffer , Placid and Jean-Christophe Menu selected the most suitable from the approximately 7000 pages sent in by September 1999 . Comix 2000 was finally released in the fourth quarter of 1999 .

Most of the comic artists involved come from France or Belgium. In addition to illustrators from countries with a great comic tradition such as Japan and the United States, artists from countries where there is only a small comic industry took part. The introduction to the volume, in which the creation is briefly described, is printed in ten languages. The name "Comix" was chosen based on the American underground comix movement, to make it clear that the band is dedicated to avant-garde, unconventional picture stories.

The band made a big impact. The Japanese illustrator Little Fish had abandoned his career, but after reading Comix 2000 he decided to take up drawing comics again. The works he created in the period that followed were all silent.
