“If we succeed in collecting good quality material, in January 2018 we will create an exhibition in the Messinian Hinterland,” Mario Benenati, the founder of Fumettomania, tells us.
Copyright of imagery or articles sent will remain with the creator, who is free to do what they want with their work after it has appeared on the Fumettomania blog.
“Of course, if someone wants to give us his design to raise funds for our 2018 projects we will be happy!” says Mario.
