Siglufjörður, a captivating fishing town located in Iceland's northernmost region, is a place where past and present blend harmoniously. Encircled by majestic mountains and resting along the serene waters of its fjord, Siglufjörður has long been a hub of culture, creativity, and tradition. This historic town has played a remarkable role in Iceland's artistic evolution, particularly in the world of comics. It was here that the influential Siglufjarðarprentsmiðja publishing house, a pioneer in the field, made history in the 1930s by printing the first-ever Icelandic-language comics. This groundbreaking milestone sparked a wave of creative energy that has since spread throughout the country. As the proud host of Iceland's inaugural comics festival, Siglufjörður continues to honor its rich heritage, inviting artists, writers, and fans alike to celebrate the power of visual storytelling in the very town where it first took root.
