  • January 10: The first issue of Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto is published. This version of Spider-Man is set on Earth-6160 and follows a 35-year old Peter Parker, who is married to Mary Jane Watson and has 2 kids with her and wasn't bitten by the radioactive spider when he was teenager, as he deals with his newfound heroic responsibilities.[4]
  • January 15: Dutch comic artist Wilma van den Bosch wins the annual Stripschapprijs.[5][6][7] De Inktpot, a Utrecht collective of comics creators, receives the annual P. Hans Frankfurtherprijs.[8][9] The ceremony takes place on 17 March.[10]
  • January 24: Belgian publishing company Plantyn announces that in the fall all their children's magazines, namely Zonneland, Zonnekind, Zonnestraal, Doremi and Doremini will cease to be printed on paper.

March

[edit]
  • March 15: Publishing company Standaard Uitgeverij sends a letter to all surviving former artists of Willy Vandersteen's studio, informing them that they are no longer allowed to make or sign drawings with the Suske en Wiske characters for fans or at book signings, without the publisher's permission. The letter is made public and causes a lot of controversy, not only among the general audience, but also the veteran artists themselves. Standaard Uitgeverij eventually reacts and acknowledges miscommunication on their part. The artists are still allowed to sign books they've drawn themselves, but no longer drawings on loose pieces of paper.[16][17][18]
