"Comic culture from the right. Themes, content and structures"
A lecture by Nils Oskamp
24.10, Time: 15.30 Location: Städtische Gallere Bremen as part of the Bremen Zine Festival.
The supporter association of the Identity Movement of Götz Kubitschek (AfD spin doctor) and Jürgen Elsässer (Compact) 1% (EINPROZENT) finances the comic publishing project Hydra Comics founded by a neo-Nazi. A comic artist from Munich creates the Hydra covers and Björn Höcke's election campaign comic. Junge Freiheit and the AfD use comics for their neo-fascist propaganda A right-wing book fair is being held in Halle an der Saale in November and the first advertising partner is Hydra Comics. These are not isolated cases, but must be read as embedded in a right-wing propaganda machine. In addition to the campaigns against the Marvel superheroine Sabra, an Israeli Mossad agent, such movements are also visible on a large scale in the genre in the USA with the Alt Right Heros. They are based on Marvel and are decidedly open to the far right.
Nils Oskamp talks about the right-wing publishing scene, its vein pulsating with money and its links to the comic genre. But also anecdotes from the book fairs with the counteractions to the right-wing publishers make for an informative but also frightening lecture.
