Cöln Comic Haus

In the location's words:

Thomas Schmitz-Lippert bought his first comics at the Chlodwigplatz kiosk as a child. In 2008, he was able to fulfill his dream close by. Today, the comic community meets at the Schmitz-Lippert Foundation in the Cöln Comic Haus for drawing, reading, exchanges and exhibitions.

"Science Fiction in U.S. Comics."

The heroes of all U.S. comics gather here: from Buck Rogers to Flash Gordon to Star Trek, Star Wars and Co. The traditional comic wall with selected comics, statues, memorabilia, paintings and merchandise is just waiting to be discovered by the visitors:inside of the Museum Night.

"Love and Romance in U.S. Comics."

Boring, my ass: LoRo comics take visitors on a journey through time from the 1940s to the 1970s. It's all about fashion, design, lifestyle and the zeitgeist. In 1949/50, every fourth comic book sold in the USA was a LoRo booklet: Love conquers all! With gaudy colors and cracking motifs, Pop Art, the Summer of Love, Woodstock, Vietnam, Women's Lib and the hippies were indulged here.
