SPECIAL GUESTS 
This year we are very excited about our very special guest, our Lord Cthulhu.

On the first day of the event, Wednesday, November 1st, everyone is invited to our booth to help us summon the great Cthulhu in a ritual! In the morning, our majestic five-meter tall statue of the Great Old One will be revealed to the public in Piazza San Giusto, right in front of our Pavillion!

To honor this great presence, we have invited 10 top artists to reinterpret the creature of the Myths with their own style: ZeroCalcare, Adrian Smith, Paul Bonner, Marco Checchetto, Gipi, Karl Kopinski, Marko Djurdjevic, Daniel Zrom, Paolo Parente and Giuseppe Camuncoli.

These illustrations of the Great Old One will make up a special portfolio of ten lithographs in limited edition of 250 pieces on sale exclusively during the Lucca event!

But that’s not all: these ten illustrations will also be available in a special postcard format, free of charge, for all participants during the festival! Drop by our booth each day to collect them:

 Wednesday: Adrian Smith + Paolo Parente
• Thursday: Marco Checchetto + Daniel Zrom
• Friday: Paul Bonner + Karl Kopinski
• Saturday: Marko Djurdevic + Gipi (the latter only during his signing times – check below)
• Sunday: ZeroCalcare + Giuseppe Camuncoli (the latter only during his signing times– check below)

We will also be hosting special signing sessions with these artists and even more folks! Full schedule can be found below. Please note: all our artists will only sign their postcards and any CMON product related to the artist himself, special portfolio included.

A while ago, we announced that, in collaboration with acclaimed comic author Gipi (Gianni Pacinotti), we would sponsor a special soccer team in Italy.

The team is composed of a group of Rom, and the joint effort began last year when they formed the soccer team and enlisted the help of dedicated individuals, including a professional soccer trainer, to nurture their skills and passion for the sport. Beyond soccer, the initiative also seeks to assist the team members in obtaining essential documentation and securing employment opportunities, enhancing their overall quality of life.

This support aims to foster a strong sense of belonging and identity among the team members. And there, we will distribute the Cthulhu Postcard by Gipi as well!

We hope to see you at Lucca!
