Every year, the Technopolis complex at Gazi is flooded with people for the International Babel Comics Festival. Displays of comic art, concerts, street theatre performances and animated film screenings draw visitors from Greece and beyond.
New and successful talent in the field of comic book design and illustration is a major focus of the festival. Past exhibitions have also included exceptionally rare originals by pioneering American artists Alex Raymond, Chester Gould, Milton Caniff, Al Capp and Winsor McCay, and have featured classic heroes Dick Tracy, Flash Gordon, Krazy Kat, Phantom, Tarzan, Rip Kirby, Cocco Bill and Valentina.
