The story

Copenhagen Comics in Copenhagen

Copenhagen Comics is Denmark's leading convention for comics and graphic storytelling, held each spring at Oksnehallen in Vesterbro. Since its start in 2004 it has grown into a gathering point for Danish and international artists, small-press publishers and readers, built around signings, panel talks and an artist alley rather than broader pop-culture spectacle.

Copenhagen Comics traces its roots to 2004, when a handful of Danish comic enthusiasts organized a modest gathering that has since grown into the country's leading convention for comics and graphic storytelling.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets Copenhagen Comics apart from larger multi-genre conventions is its narrow focus: comics and the craft of drawing, not film premieres or gaming tournaments

02

The mystery stays covered

The floor is organized into three zones, Comics and Zines, Artists and Crafts, and Pins and Prints, which keeps small-press publishers and individual illustrators easy to find rather than lost among franchise merchandise

03

The city starts moving

Many visitors come specifically to commission original artwork from creators they already follow online, and craft-focused panels on inking, self-publishing and format adaptation draw as many aspiring creators as casual readers

04

The water draws everyone in

The industrial brick hall, a former cattle market, adds a plainer, workmanlike backdrop that suits a scene still rooted in zines and hand-drawn work
