Career

Ralf Palandt studied communication science and adult education in Munich.

He has been campaigning for comic culture since the 1980s . He organizes exhibitions with catalogs for comic artists (for example Munich Comic-Maker , 1987 in Munich and Hamburg) and on factual topics. His comics were printed in comic magazines (including Strapazin No. 7/1986 and No. 69/2002) and anthologies (e.g. Anno Domini for the 850th anniversary of Munich, Comicaze eV, 2008) and at comic festivals (e.g. Comic Café , 2004–2008 at the Erlangen Comic Salon ) and in art exhibitions (for example Strips and Characters , 2004 in Munich and Wolfsburg).

As editor of the comix magazine '' Kromix '' , which appeared from 1989 to 1995 by the Stefan Riedl publishing house , he published not only the stories of cartoonists from all over Germany, but also works by young comic talents and his own work. With its openness to experimental and socio-political comics, the magazine deliberately leaned on the former Munich comix magazine Zomix .

As part of his Munich multimedia event series Comix-Fun-Nights (1990–1995) he showed current underground films and made his own short films, for example The Violence of Right No Chance . This was followed by longer films and teamwork on the documentary Teufel, Strafe Gottes und Ewige Verdammnis in 1993 about the Engelwerk, which won the prize of the Upper Bavarian Youth Film Festival, among other things.

In 1997 Ralf Palandt joined the Super-8 film group Abgedannt by the Munich artist Veronika Dimke . This was followed by the Super-8 film festival series Abgedendet (1997/98) and Krasnogorsk (1999) in the Munich dance club Atomic Café . In 1999 he participated in the founding of the international short film festival in Munich and controlled a. a. the festival name Bunter Hund . His films screen at film festivals such as the Fantasy Filmfest , Super-8-Festival of the Anthology Film Archives and Volcano! -Underground festival and art exhibitions.

At the end of the 1990s he increasingly turned back to the comics scene. In 1996 he organized the 1st comicology congress in Munich with numerous exhibitions, lectures and films on the subject of comics. With the international comicology congress in 2001 and 2004 he was able to increase its success. In 2007 the Munich comic festival and the comicological congress added their respective cultural orientations and offers to the joint international comic festival in Munich for the first time .

In order to realize media-educational projects and to promote creative and communicative skills (including through the promotion of young artists), he founded the non-profit association Cultur without further ( Cow eV ) in 2000 with other cultural workers and was chairman for many years. As an umbrella organization, network and platform for comic groups and individuals, the ComicStadt München association was founded in 2001 . The most active Munich comic initiatives elected Ralf Palandt as chairman for years until he gave up his post in 2008 in favor of other tasks.

The jam comic published by him, I hunted Jack the Ripper (2004, Edition Strapazin M) is a sequel to which more than 50 authors and draftsmen collaborated for several years, including artists who later became well-known such as Harm Bengen , Rolf Boyke , Klaus Cornfield , scriptwriter Rochus Hahn , Hansi Kiefersauer , Isabel Kreitz , Gabriel Nemeth , Uli Oesterle and the hip-hopper and graffiti artist Beatbox Eliot .
