He is known to a wide Arab audience through “Grinder,” the hero of many childhoods.
This week, his Japanese creator, Go Nagai, is a prominent guest at the Italian city of Lucca, which is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its comic book and gaming festival.
“Lucca Comics & Games” kicks off on October 28 and runs until November 1, under the theme “Legacy.”
According to organizers, this edition brings together more than 80 publishers and over 400 guests, including 15 artists from Japan.
Among the notable participants are American comic book artist Frank Miller and Yoshinori Kitase, one of the key creators of “Final Fantasy VII.”
The festival began in 1966 and gradually expanded to include board games, video games, fantasy literature, and cosplay.
On its 60th anniversary, the “Lucca Legacy” exhibition at Palazzo Guinigi retraces key milestones of its journey, paving the way for the establishment of a permanent comic book museum.
The celebrations extend to mobile devices with a free game inspired by 1980s arcade games, allowing players to wander among the walls and towers of Lucca.
