The Quest, volume 3! Wauter Mannaert reads and signs the Quest 3

Sunday 15 February is going to be a delightful day at the Comic Art Museum, because we will be receiving a distinguished visitor: Wauter Mannaert, a Brussels-based comic book artist who currently has his own exhibition at our museum, will be dropping by for a special reading and signing session!

With ​“De queeste” (The Quest), Wauter Mannaert has created an exciting and funny trilogy about Pelli’s search for the ​“beast”. The series updates the legend of King Arthur, but also tackles recognisable topics that you would expect to find in a youth comic in 2026: teenagers’ relationships with their parents, ecology, emancipation.

The third and final part of ​“De queeste” has recently hit the shops, and we are celebrating this with a reading session and a book signing. You can also find out all about Wauter and his work in our exhibition ​“De Natuur van Wauter Mannaert” (The Nature of Wauter Mannaert). Extra fun? There is also an activity booklet to really go on a quest in the exhibition. In short, all the ingredients are there for a fun afternoon during the spring half-term holidays.

Schedule:
Reading session (NL) from 3:00 to 3:30 p.m.
Reading session (French) from 3.45 p.m. to 4.15 p.m.
Signing session from 4.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

Free, but registration is required.
