Over the years, Cosenza Comics and Games has welcomed hundreds of international guests, captivating visitors who have had the opportunity to interact with artists and creators of various genres.

Over the years, the festival has hosted hundreds of international artists and creators, enabling the public to meet authors, illustrators and industry professionals in person. In addition to these events, there are talks, workshops, special events and live-streamed sessions that expand participation in a digital format, making the event increasingly open and contemporary.
The theme chosen for the 2026 edition is‘Mission: Multiverse’, an invitation to explore the narrative worlds of pop culture. The multiverse becomes a metaphor for contemporary creativity: narrative universes that meet and intertwine, giving rise to new stories and new languages. From the great classics of Japanese animation to the narrative universes of comics, and from video games to new forms of digital storytelling, the festival explores an imaginative world that continues to evolve and captivate entire generations.
Among the new features of the twelfth edition, a highlight is the establishment of the Premio Enotrio, a national award dedicated to the world of illustrated publishing, comics and graphic novels. The award is named after Enotrio Pugliese, a key figure in Italian visual culture, and also references the ancient name of Calabria, with the aim of strengthening the link between the national publishing scene and the region.
