As it is being celebrated the Heroes ComicCon Valencia, the Aula of the Comic of the Universitat de València will celebrate its fist activity on Thursday, the 21st of February of 2019, in the Cultural Centre La Nau of the Universitat de València. It is a roundtable about the 80th anniversary of Marvel, one of the companies which has defined the modern superhero canon over the years thanks to the work of their editor Stan Lee and cartoonists such as Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko.

The event will start at 7.00 p.m. in the hall of La Nau and authors such as Carlos Pacheco, Pasqual Ferry and Rafa Fonteriz will be there.  They were the first ones who worked directly for the American company in the 90s, through the extinct Marvel UK, so that they became essential authors for the American market working on some of the most important characters of Marvel.

Pasqual Ferry was the supervisor of series such as Thor, Ultimate Iron Man or the Fantastic four. After a long trajectory in the editorial, the team composed by Carlos Pacheco and Rafa Fonteriz is in business for the series the Captain Marvel, one of the characters who will soon release her own film.

In the roundtable, there will be debates on the evolution of superheroes, from their experiences, their personal work and their first expressions to their current success in the cinema, which has consolidated it as the central axis of the new media culture.
