L’Alliance New York Presents Comic Arts Fest

L’Alliance New York presents Comic Arts Fest from Friday, April 24 through Sunday, April 26 at L’Alliance New York, 22 E 60th Street, New York, NY, 10022. Day passes start at $20, individual event tickets at $8, and full-festival passes at $45. All tickets can be purchased https://lallianceny.org/event/comic-arts-fest-2026/.

Meet some of the world’s most celebrated graphic novelists and comic book artists across a full weekend of conversations, masterclasses, screenings, book signings, parties, and workshops featuring world-renowned artists such as Charles Burns, Elene Usdin, Felipe Smith, Frank Quitely, Julie Rocheleau, Benjamin Lacombe, and more. New this year, L’Alliance New York is also partnering with the Society of Illustrators to co-present a special off-site conference in their nearby museum. Comic Arts Fest is curated by publisher Rodolphe Lachat.

“If last year’s inaugural edition opened under the most auspicious signs, carried by the support of Art Spiegelman, Françoise Mouly, Frank Miller, and many others, this new edition confirms our ambition to build a space of circulation and dialogue. A bridge between mainstream and independent scenes, between Europe and North America, and between the many graphic languages that make comics one of the most vibrant forms of storytelling today.”
