Comic Lounge 66: Creative Drawing Fun for Young Comic Fans in Cologne

At Comic Lounge 66, the next generation of young illustrators gathers for an inspiring family experience with pencil, imagination, and plenty of space for their own ideas. On September 17, 2026, Leo Leowald will guide participants in the district library Haus Balchem through the theme Surprises in the Maze – an offer for children and teenagers aged 9 to 19.

Draw, try out, be amazed

This is where stories come to life picture by picture. Participants send their comic character into a confusing maze full of surprising turns and develop their own scenes, characters, and small narrative worlds along the way. This enhances creativity, concentration, and linguistic expression in a child-friendly manner.

Educationally valuable and age-appropriate

The Comic Lounge is designed as a calm, collaborative drawing format. According to the event description, Leo Leowald shows how stories are created and comics are drawn. This is particularly attractive for families because children and teenagers can learn and apply creative techniques in a protected learning environment.

A place with special charm

The district library Haus Balchem is located in a historic Baroque building in Cologne-South. The surroundings are literary, easy to navigate, and well connected to public transportation. Important for families: The building is only very limited accessible for wheelchair users.

Good to know for families

Participation is free of charge, but registration through the booking system is required. The event starts at 4:45 PM and ends at 6:45 PM. Those who love comics or want to discover drawing for the first time will find a suitable entry point with professional guidance and plenty of enjoyable learning.

Conclusion: Comic Lounge 66 combines imagination, drawing training, and shared experimentation into a strong family experience in Cologne. Those looking for creative children's offerings with literary flair will experience two hours full of ideas and comic magic live on site.
