Balkan Comics by patrickdevine at 1:15PM, Jan. 31, 2010/ http://www.drunkduck.com/forum/topic/144798/

“My latest obsession is comics from the Balkans, countries like Croatia, Serbia and around. This is only stuff that I’ve learned about in the last few weeks but during the 1990’s there was an underground comics movement that partly rose up as a counterculture to the artless pop-culture and by artists actively avoiding the draft. What I think is cool about these comics is how weird-looking they are– they don’t really resemble any comics I’ve read before and they’re also usually drawn collectively, so often comics are only signed with the name of a collective rather than an individual artist. Anyway, you can see some examples here:  www.komikaze.hr ”
