The most famous characters of the Miki Muster comics are the animal heroes: fox Trickster, turtle Hardie, wolf Hungerly and toad Joe Flayskin. The reconciliation was performed by animal characters in the comics, later joined by human characters. In the end, only those four characters remained animals, and all the other appeared as human characters.

Bibliographies of vignettes and trailers by Miki Muster
The National and University Library has prepared a publication of the Bibliography of Vignettes and Trailers by Miki Muster for the 100th anniversary of the birth of the comic book master, Do You Draw Miki Muster?, in conjunction with the major exhibition on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the comic book master, A vi rišete Miki Muster?. The illustrated bibliography by authors Rok Glavan and Sam Kristan provides an overview of trailers and cover vignettes for comics and picture books by Miki Muster that were published in newspaper banners. The monograph represents that part of Muster’s creativity that remained hidden behind the characters themselves and their stories in comics. The Bibliography of Vignettes and Trailers by Miki Muster will be presented on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at 12:00, in the NUK meeting room (first floor). After the presentation, the authors will take you through the exhibition Do You Draw Miki Muster? The Bibliography of Vignettes and Trailers by Miki Muster includes a list of vignettes and trailers for comics and picture books by Miki Muster. The authors limited the selection to the first publications of the comics that appeared in Slovenian newspapers between 1952 and 1973, namely in Poletova podobe in povesti (1952), Petkova Panorama (1953), Tedenska Tribuna (1953–1968), Slovenski Poročevalec (1954–1959), Delo (1959–1960) and Ljubljanski Dnevnik (1960–1961). The bibliography consists of a pictorial and descriptive part and is arranged chronologically, so that individual units follow each other by date of publication or, in the case of sub-pages, by the date of publication of the first part of the comic. Rok Glavan, co-author of the Bibliography, in the preface describes the role of Mustra’s trailers as unique visual prequels to upcoming comic adventures, adding that in addition to these, he also created cover vignettes for these comics and picture books, “where each vignette was a wonderful miniature work of art, combining humor, dynamics, and character characterization.” These trailers and cover vignettes are artistic gems that accompany the publication of Mustra’s comics and reveal his mastery of smaller formats. Therefore, the present bibliography is not just a list, but also “a tribute to Mustra’s ability to breathe life and story into every detail.” The bibliography consists of 160 units, 70 of which are entirely written by Miki Muster himself, and 90 of which are drawings for stories by other authors. Among Muster’s comics, the most recognizable are Zvitorepčeve prigode, followed by Jakec and Ali Aga and Trebuško plahun in njegova družina; among the illustrations he used to furnish stories by other authors, we find Doživljaji mala Lupinice, Čebelica Maja, Poslednji Mohikanec, Kazan, Medvedek Neewa, Tivolski junaki and, for example, Sienkiewitz’s Skozi pustinje in puščave. Miki Muster, who was born on November 22, 1925 in Murska Sobota, was a master with a pencil, an academic sculptor by education, but an illustrator and animator by heart. He found his true expression in drawing. Between 1952 and 1973, he created more than forty episodes about the fox Trickster, the …
