Gosho Aoyama, the artist of "Detective Conan," will be a guest at the Comicsalon Erlangen (June 15-18, 2006). Rumors about this had been circulating for a while, and now it has been officially confirmed by EMA in a press release:
"DETECTIVE CONAN IS COMING TO GERMANY
Manga superstar GOSHO AOYAMA visits the 12th International Comic-Salon Erlangen 2006
Cologne, May 24, 2006
The Japanese star manga artist Gosho Aoyama will visit the 12th International Comic-Salon Erlangen 2006. He is accepting an invitation from the city of Erlangen. Gosho Aoyama is expected to be a guest at the largest and most important comic fair in the German-speaking world on June 16 and 17. On June 18, the star artist and soccer fan will cheer on the Japanese national team during their World Cup match against Croatia in Nuremberg.
Gosho Aoyama is one of the most successful manga artists worldwide. His most famous series about the small but clever detective Conan has sold over 1 million copies in Germany alone, and more than 420 million of his books have been sold worldwide. This makes the series one of the most successful manga productions of all time, even outselling his Gallic comic colleague Asterix!
Since 2001, Detective Conan has been published by Egmont Manga & Anime (EMA). To date, 53 volumes have been released in Japan, with 43 currently available in Germany. The Conan saga has even expanded with Detective Conan Short Stories (published by EMA since May 2005, currently 7 volumes in Germany, 27 in Japan).
With Gosho Aoyama's visit, a long-held wish for many manga fans is coming true. Egmont Manga & Anime is very much looking forward to his visit and already wishes Gosho Aoyama a pleasant stay in Germany and lots of fun at his national team's World Cup match.
The 12th International Comic-Salon Erlangen 2006 will take place from June 15 to 18, 2006. For more information about the Comic-Salon, visit www.comic-salon.de, and for details about Gosho Aoyama and Detective Conan, go to www.manganet.de."
