Cities play an important in Marc Sleen’s oeuvre. His native town of Ghent and other cities like Antwerp and Brussels often serve as the setting for the adventures of Nero & Co.
The exhibition “The city speaks” not only displays original works by Marc Sleen but also by a new generation of comic book authorise like Judith Van Istendael, Guy Delisle, Joost Swarte, Aimée de Jongh and Tardi. Each of them portrays a city they have a special connection with.
