Crew (comic)
Crew, the first regular Czech international comic magazine, started publication in 1997. It was meant to be published every two months, but it started having long breaks after the first year. Officially publication ended in 2003 with ''Crew 21''. Name Not to be confused with the English word "crew," the name of the magazine was a pun on the word blood (Czech: ''krev'') as the magazine wished to portray "bloody" comics alongside others. History It ran for quite some time under the team of Štěpan Kopřiva, Jiří Pavlovský and Petr Litoš. But issues 17–21 were done by Vladimír Veverka. After the collapse of the original magazine, Litoš, Kopřiva and Pavlovský began to publish a new magazine — Crew2. Nineteen issues have been published to date (first issue published 2003, latest 2007). The Crew under Veverka was visibly less popular with the long-time fans, although it had its own following. Crew was the only magazine to officially publish international comics after ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

90's Comics Wave
Czech comics are comics written in the Czech or Slovak language or by Czech-speaking creators, for the comic markets in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (the former Czechoslovakia). History One of the first Czech comic artist was the cartoonist Ladislav Vlodek, for example his comic book series ''Adolf'' (where perhaps a Czech speech bubbles were used for the first time) were imprinted in the children's magazine ''Koule'' in 1926-1927. The beginnings of the comics genre in Czechoslovakia are connected with the popular artist Josef Lada, for example in his drawings ''Šprýmovné komiksy: Obrázkové seriály'' z let 1922-1946 (''Joke Comics: Picture Series'' from 1922-1946). Ondřej Sekora, the creator of short newspaper strips, has also followed a similar path, whose greatest success was probably Ferda Mravenec from 1933. However, in children's magazines were also published his strips about chicken Napipi, captain Ani Muk and dog Rek. Magazine ''Mladý hlasatel'' (''Young He ...

Understanding Comics
''Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art'' is a 1993 non-fiction work of comics by American cartoonist Scott McCloud. It explores formal aspects of comics, the historical development of the medium, its fundamental vocabulary, and various ways in which these elements have been used. It expounds theoretical ideas about comics as an art form and medium of communication, and is itself written in comic book form. ''Understanding Comics'' received praise from notable comic and graphic novel authors such as Art Spiegelman, Will Eisner, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Garry Trudeau (who reviewed the book for the ''New York Times''). Although the book has prompted debate over many of McCloud’s conclusions, its discussions of "iconic" art and the concept of "closure" between panels have become common reference points in discussions of the medium. The title of ''Understanding Comics'' is an homage to Marshall McLuhan's seminal 1964 work ''Understanding Media''. Publication history Exce ...
