Special guests

There’s hardly anyone who hasn’t come across the work of this freaky mom with even freakier kids and, apparently… a very patient father. Her red-haired heroine has been captivating audiences on screen for over ten years now, sharing brutally honest stories about the life and struggles of a woman — the good, the bad, and most of all, the funny — and she’s capable of making you laugh just as easily as she can make you cry.

Neda has illustrated the covers and pages of dozens of books, advertising campaigns, and initiatives, and in 2022 she published her own book “You’ll See When You Have Kids!”

You can meet Neda at Aniventure Comic Con on July 5th and 6th in Hall 4 of the Inter Expo Center! Don’t miss the special panel where, together with Martin Petrov (Toni Pateto) and Sten Damyanov (Prosto Spas), they will share more about comic culture in Bulgaria.

Sten Damyanov is a Bulgarian author and artist. He is the creator of the popular comic book character “Just Spas” – the grumpy rabbit whose stories and adventures have taken over social media and local bookstores. With his uncompromising humor and sharp satire of the everyday absurdities we all face, the sour-faced rabbit has also captured the hearts of fans.

Sten has worked on other projects as well – together with Anani Borisov and Martin Petrov, he created the character of Tony the Duck from the comic series of the same name and illustrated the book “The Bulgarians! Forgotten Achievements”.
Sten Damyanov will be a special guest at Aniventure Comic Con on July 5 and 6 at the Inter Expo Center. You can meet him in Hall 4, where he’ll have his own booth, and during a special panel on the Hall 4 stage, you’ll have the chance to learn more about him, comic book culture in Bulgaria, and his latest project – Epic of Shishman Thrace – Nuisance!

Martin Petrov is a Bulgarian artist, creator of the comic book character Tony Pateto. He graduated in Illustration and Graphic Arts at the Art High School in Sofia, and then graduated with a degree in Animation at the NATFA “Krustyu Sarafov”. He works as a 2D artist in a large game company and in his spare time he makes comics. On social media, she works with Anani Boris on the Tony Pateto project. This year will be presented the third part of the series about the adventures of Tony Patetto “Carnival in Lulin”, created by Martin.

Tony Pateto is a collectible, parodic and satirical image, personifying the average charlatan and schemer. “Carnival in Lulin” is a story planned in 4 parts, and why not more, and separately Petrov is working on another, more serious graphic novel, which is expected to appear in a few years.

Martin Petrov will be a special guest at Aniventure Comic Con on July 5 and 6 at Inter Expo Center and will have his own special booth, and you can also meet him at a special panel in Hall 4 where he will talk about himself, his work on the character Tony Pateto and his other projects.
