WOW Comics Museum: a new beginning
Friday 27 February 2026, 04:00 PM • Milan
Auction details
Finarte, in collaboration with Urania Casa d'Aste, presents a special auction entirely dedicated to the world of comics, with the specific aim of helping WOW Spazio Fumetto find a new location and thus revive the Comics Museum that was based in Milan for many years.
<< Today, the Franco Fossati Foundation needs help to make a rebirth of WOW possible that does not make us regret its glorious past.
This is the purpose of this auction: to raise the funds necessary for WOW to continue to exist and survive. We are not selling off the “family jewels”, as this would be inconsistent with our primary conservation vocation, but we have preferred to ask for help from well-known Italian comic book authors, who have responded en masse and with great enthusiasm by donating original works to raise a sufficient amount of money.
If you are a comic book enthusiast, take part in the auction, take home a unique masterpiece and help us preserve a treasure.
We will soon find ourselves in front of a new museum, shouting together once again: WOW!!! >>
(Luigi F. Bona - director of WOW Spazio Fumetto)
The auction will be preceded by an exhibition in Milan, offering collectors the opportunity to carefully examine all the lots, presented and enhanced by the splendid setting of our exhibition venue.
