Shanghai Comics Week is a flagship concurrent highlight of CCBF. As the leading professional children's book fair in the Asia-Pacific region, CCBF attracts publishers, industry professionals, and families worldwide every November, standing as a premier cultural event in the industry. As young readers mature and the influence of Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers grows, there is a surging interest in and engagement with original comics, immersive experiences, and interactive pop culture. Responding to this shift, Shanghai Comics Week makes its debut—creating a brand-new cultural platform centered around original comics.
Shanghai Comics Week aims to build a multidimensional interactive hub for creators, readers, and fans. Featuring a rich array of comic titles and original artwork exhibitions, the event brings comics off the page and into real-life settings through book signings, creator meet-and-greets, immersive environments, and interactive experiences that enhance audience participation. Concurrently, it offers participating companies and brands a targeted gateway to reach young audiences and expand market influence, serving as a professional platform connecting comic content with industry development.
As Asia-Pacific's premier international children's book fair, CCBF annually brings together global publishers, rights holders, illustrators, cultural brands, and families.
Growing out of CCBF's deeply established foundation in visual literacy and international publishing, Shanghai Comic Week is set to continuously expand the boundaries of comics, graphic novels, and youth culture.
