Comic Carnival 2004 Draws Beijingers

2004/09/01

The Oriental Animation & Comic Carnival 2004 opened at the National Museum of Military History in Beijing in early August. More than 30 world-renowned cartoonists exhibited their works during the six-day festival.

The comic carnival -- the biggest of its kind in China -- has attracted thousands of cartoon lovers, with its live interactive games and stunning "cos-plays" (costume plays).

The China Oriental Culture Research Society and Comic Fans magazine, one of the most popular regular comic publications in China, jointly organized the events. Some of the highlights, aside from the shows presented on centre stage, included autograph sessions, animation screenings, and exhibitions of products and works of acclaimed artists. This latter was composed of more than 1,000 works by 30-plus cartoon masters from around the globe, including such notables as Mark Brooks, the creator of the ever-popular animation series, "Transformers."
