Normandiebulle, the comics festival held in Darnétal (Seine-Maritime), opens its 30th edition this weekend, on 26 and 27 September, according to Livres Hebdo. Founded in 1996, the event has grown steadily, and this anniversary edition arrives with a new logo, a redesigned scenography, around sixty invited authors and some twenty exhibitions.
Livres Hebdo reports that Christopher Langlois, the mayor of Darnétal, and Gaulthier Aubert, director of the town's cultural service, spoke about how the festival has developed over three decades and how comics have become, in their account, a strong marker of the area's identity.
