Journalist Thierry Bellefroid also conducted a series of interviews that will be broadcast on RTBF in Belgium. Furthermore, Canal BD, a network of bookshops specialising in comics, will feature Quebec recommendations in its magazine and organise a competition for its members to encourage promotion in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition <strong><em>Confluence: The World(s) of Contemporary Comics from Quebec<\/em><\/strong> which explores the influences that have shaped it through the works of 24 prominent comic book artists swill be presented, among other events, at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival in June and at the Salon du livre de Montr\u00e9al in November 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the financial figures for exhibitors will be announced at a later date, but there is every indication that the figures of 22,000 comic books and half a million dollars in sales achieved over the past two years will be exceeded.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-710x473.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FBDM2026-05-15_web_credMaryseBoyce_0443.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MCAF 2026 &#8211;
