Europe Comics is a pan-European comics and graphic novel digital venture run by 13 European comics publishers from eight European countries.[1] The project received funding in 2015 from the European Commission's Creative Europe Programme,[2] and launched officially in November of that year.[3]
The purpose of the initiative is the development of a lesser-known but ample European literary genre, European comics, through the formation of a collective English-language digital catalogue, the organization of author tours and events across Europe and North America, and the creation of a website meant for comics readers and professionals.[4]
On 12 January 2023, Europe Comics announced it would stop their "consumer-facing activities" (website, social media, newsletters, events); the initiative announced it will still release new digital comics through online retailers.[5]
