From April 11 to 13, Torino Comics 2025, organized by GL events Italia in joint venture with Just for fun, will return to Lingotto Fiere. Now in its XXIXth edition, this event draws tens of thousands of fans of comics, manga, anime, cinema, games, esport, videogames and of course the many cosplayers, arriving from all over Italy, to the Piedmont capital every year.
‘Peace, love and be nerds’
This edition also aims to be a time of celebration where the public can live and share their passions in an atmosphere of harmony and inclusiveness.
That is why the theme chosen is ‘Peace, Love and be nerd,’ an invitation to rediscover the spirit of community and the pleasure of being together, values that have always characterized the event.
Theme that also characterizes the official poster, previewed in December during Xmas Comics and created by Mirka Andolfo, among the most internationally famous Italian illustrators and the first Italian author ever to write and draw a story for DC Comics (Harley Quinn Black+White+Red). Today she also writes for Marvel Comics, Dynamite and Walt Disney Company.
The poster depicts a female figure immersed in a dreamlike universe, a symbol of the creativity and energy that Torino Comics 2025 wants to convey. Wrapped in a cascade of colorful flowers, the figure emerges from the water, evoking the imagery of the flower children and the culture of peace of the 1960s, reinterpreted in a modern key. The intense blue tones of the background, enhanced by stylized graphic elements, suggest a sense of freedom and belonging, conveying the message of an event that celebrates passion, sharing and nerd culture in all its forms.
“The theme of this edition represents the essence of Torino Comics, an event that knows how to combine fun with the creation of a welcoming and inclusive environment, where every fan can feel part of a large and close-knit nerd community,” emphasized Gàbor Ganczer, managing director of GL events Italia. ”We are thrilled to contribute to this extraordinary journey into the heart of pop culture, consolidating Turin’s role as a reference for fans of the sector.
