Albanian comics, though not well known internationally, were produced mainly by comic-authors from Kosovo. Until recently there was no comic tradition in Albania where comics were seen as junk literature known as ''fumeti'' (literally, little clouds of smoke) supposedly because pop art was prohibited by the dictatorial communist regime.〔(Strip Burek )〕 Today there is one comic magazine published in Kosovo called ''Leon'', and there is ''Tafë Kusuri'' comic-strip (oldest serial character founded by Agim Qena, and continued by his son Rron Qena) together with ''Garfield'' and ''Calvin and Hobbes''〔Trembelat, "...translate and do the lettering for the comic strips (Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Baldo and Cleats) published in this daily (Ditore )" ()〕 (translated in Albanian) published by ''Koha Ditore'' newspaper. ==Brief history== In Kosovo comic culture was influenced most notably by the subculture in Yugoslavia, although other countries had influence. The first comic-strip published in Kosovo was ''Tafë Kusuri'' by Agim Qena (''Rilindja'' newspaper). There was also an Albanian comic magazine published in Pristina, Kosovo during the nineties parallel governance, and it was called ''Strip Arti''. It featured comics created by local and international authors. The magazine was discontinued for the lack of founding. Without "Strip Arti" the comic culture had continued mainly through children and teenager magazines. A magazine dedicated to alternative arts Hapi Alternativ, edited by comics fan Petrit Selimi, published local and foreign comics as well, introducing novel characters such as Hellboy to the Albanian language market. Another mixed content magazine was ''Hareja'' (published monthly during the nineties by Ibrahim Kadriu) and a weekly children's supplement in ''Koha Ditore'' called ''Vizatori'' (published 2000-2005). Printing house "Rrota" published and translated ''Spiderman'', ''Alan Ford'' and ''X-Men'' during 2003.〔(Rrota )〕 Later they published a monthly children's magazine called ''Pishpiriku'' where a five-page comic (written and illustrated by Trembelat) was regularly featured.〔(Trembelat )〕 Daily Zeri in 1999 also published original works, and weekly Java in 2003 published ''Rrotelat''〔(Albanian Arts )〕 (by Edon Muhaxheri), though both have discontinued the practice. In colloquial Albanian comics are called "stripa", showing the influence of Yugoslav comic-culture. Comics are difficult to find to buy in Kosovo. Some of them are found in distribution points of Rilindja newspapers, while fans can also find limited copies in comics-inspired coffeeshop in downtown Prishtina named Stripdepot as well as Dit' e Nat' bookshop-cafe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albanian comics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
