MACEDONIAN COMICS SCENE

Macedonian comics and comic culture have been in gradual evolutionary growth since the end of the Second World War (this is best demonstrated by our comic chroniclers Tomislav Osmanli and Aleksandar Stevanov). Over the past 20 years, this intensity has been increasing at an ever-increasing pace.

The presentation at the international animation and comics festival SUPERTOON in Šibenik is a continuation of the participation and presentation of the Macedonian comics scene through publications and promotions. This is already an established practice that arose through my guest appearances at the festivals: Valjevo-Serbia, Ferizaj-Kosovo, Sombor-Serbia and Užice-Serbia. The comic works of current Macedonian comic authors will be presented, with priority given to those who applied for the international comic contest for the needs of the traditional salon (festival) in Veles.
