00:19WELCOME TO KAZAKSTAN! WELCOME TO MODERN NOMADS!
00:23We begin this episode in Almaty, Kazakhstan's cultural capital and a creative hub for the country's emerging comics scene.
00:33Here we meet Madibek Musabekov, an artist who fuses iconic Kazakh imagery, like the legendary Golden Man, into the world of comics.
00:42His work even brings Kazakh-inspired characters into the Marvel Universe.
00:47Madybek does it all, from writing and illustration, to publishing and promotion.
01:05He has already published two titles, Yermek Batyr, the tale of a Kazakh hero who saves lives,
01:11and the Golden Warrior, which blends historical figures with mythology.
01:16Now he's preparing a sequel to the Golden Warrior and working on the Jedi Knights, a story set in the Star Wars Universe.
01:26As interest in the comics industry grows in Kazakhstan, cozy bookshops are filling with everything from international bestsellers to titles by local creators.
01:36There is a big demand for our culture, folklore, mythology.
01:42And this is all reflected on the books of contemporary comics.
01:46From the intimate bookshops of Almaty, to large-scale festivals in the capital Astana, Kazakhstan comics industry is gaining momentum.
01:54The five-day Comic-Con Astana brings together fans and creators from across the country and beyond, a sign of just how far the industry has come.
02:04When surrounded by superheroes, cyborgs and elves, I just can't help but become a part of this reality too.
02:10This year, the convention offers plenty to explore, from pop geek performances to hands-on masterclasses.
02:18One of the main highlights is the cosplay contest, with a total prize fund of nearly 25,000 euros.
02:30Comic-Con Astana brings in major names from the global gig scene.
02:34Among them is Andy Serkis, the legendary motion capture actor behind Gollum in The Lords of the Rings.
02:40Today, he's here in Astana, meeting and greeting his fans.
02:48And now, from one epic saga to another.
02:51Hey guys, I'm a big fan, can we please take a photo together?
02:54Great, thank you!
02:58Comic-Con is more than just costumes and fandom.
03:01It's a celebration of pop culture in all its forms.
03:04Comics, anime, films, TV series, gaming and cosplay.
03:09One of the highlights is the artist's alley, where creators present and sell their work.
03:14It's an alley of authors, where artists, illustrators, comicists, and products are presented.
03:20We have more than 100 authors.
03:2290% are from Kazakhstan, and about 10% are invited to our guests,
03:27who are here, who are here, who are here.
03:30Our main goal is to support Kazakhstan's authors,
03:33so that this culture is developed in our territory,
03:36so that our young actors are developing and starting the world.
03:39While exploring the grounds of Comic-Con Astana,
03:42we came across renowned Kazakh comics author,
03:45Alibek Kozhigeldiyev, who's presenting his latest books at the event.
03:49Начиная с позапрошлого года, я делаю комиксы сразу на двух языках,
03:54на русском и на казахском.
03:55Я решил, что без разницы я буду делать свой покупатель на казахском языке,
04:01он найдется.
04:02Ну и в целом не прогадал.
04:04What began as a comic convention in the US nearly 60 years ago
04:08has grown into a global pop culture phenomenon,
04:11with comics still at its core.
04:13In Astana, Comic-Con returns for its fourth year,
