In 1972, Groux and Mardikian organized a “Comic Book Fortnight” with the help of Molitarni. Franquin, Gotlib, and other famous authors came to the municipal museum for signing sessions. Success is on the agenda, the event well received by booksellers, authors and the public.<\/p>\n
In 1973, Claude Moliterni invited Groux and Mardikian to the international comic book fair in Lucca, Italy, which he co-founded, the organizers agreed to be copied and three months later was born: Le Salon.<\/p>\n
The success was immediate: 10,000 visitors came to meet the authors at the Museum of Angoul\u00eame. This is the beginning of the adventure for the Angoul\u00eame International Comic Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
