MANILVA (Agencies) The word cómic (with an accent) is not the word for comedian in Spanish. It refers to what used to be called comic magazines, or 'comics' for short. There is an enormous interest in Spain about the subject and it's a very healthy sector of the publishing business, too. Local fans will be wham!ing their way to Manilva, where a festival is being held this weekend. Artists in the medium will have a chance to learn a lot from experienced artists working with some of the world's top comic publishers, including Disney and Marvel. Yes, Spain exports many dab hands with the pen & ink. Also present will be local artists, many known well beyond the confines of the area, like Carlos Villanueva, Ricardo Tejeiro, Antonio Garrido 'Garry', Jesús Barony and young Cris L. Vargas, the author of the mural at Parque María Cristina in Algeciras. Films, shops specialising in the art, and others, and activities for the kids are on the programme. So shazzam! yourself to Manilva until Sunday, and have a colourful time.
