202510 Years of Vienna Comic Con - Miniature Sheet

It is Austria’s largest event for pop culture in all its various forms – this year, Vienna Comic Con celebrates its 10th anniversary. Since 2015, the convention has been held at Messe Wien. The focus is on pop culture and gaming, films, series, comics, anime and manga, cosplay and fantasy. Around 40,000 fans attend the event every year, which offers workshops, competitions, interviews and shows. The spectacular miniature sheet commemorating the anniversary combines gaming culture with art: 2015 also saw the release of the video role-playing game “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” by Polish developer CD Projekt Red, based on the Witcher saga, which has had a significant influence on pop culture. The designer, also from Poland, was inspired by Viennese Art Nouveau for the design of the miniature sheet. It features characters from the game in an elaborately designed frame decorated with flowers and ornaments. The print run of 125,100 copies refers to the fictional year 1251, when Ciri, one of the main characters, was born. Austrian Post will have its own stand at Vienna Comic Con 2025.
