This year is particularly important for us, as it marks the anniversary of the birth of the great master of the ninth art – Miki Muster. Slovenian comics were long overshadowed by Croatian and Serbian comics, which Slovenian readers could only read in Croatian or Serbian, i.e. in their periodicals, because the first “Slovenian” weekly with comics, Majin strip, was only published in the early 1960s, and even then it was published in Serbian. Therefore, we can say that Zvitorepec is indeed the first such Slovenian publication to appear after the economic reform of 1965. This year, we will host a series of events related to comics and, in particular, to our legendary author Miki Muster.

This will also be an opportunity to show the difference between inspiration and copying. With this in mind, they will also return to a historical overview and the beginning of comics, remember the authors who laid the foundations in Slovenia, and look back at Muster’s fellow travelers, all the way to those born before 1945.
