''Dikan'' (Serbian Cyrillic: ''Дикан'') is a Serbian and Yugoslav comic strip. The comic follows the adventures of the title character and his uncle Vukoje as they travel around the Balkans as early Slavic scouts. During the 1970s, ''Dikan'' was one of the most popular comics in Yugoslavia.〔(Saša Rakezić, "Buzdovan i meko srce", vreme.com )〕 ''Dikan'' was originally created in 1969 by artist Lazo Sredanović for ''Politikin Zabavnik'' magazine. Since that date, 24 Dikan stories were published in the magazine.〔(D. Stošić, "Dikan ponovo šeta Balkanom", danas.rs )〕 ==History== The creation of ''Dikan'' is linked to the changes in ''Politikin Zabavnik'' magazine. In 1968, ''Politikin Zabavnik'' switched from newspaper to magazine format, and the magazine's editor-in-chiefs, Nikola Lekić, thought that the magazine should, beside foreign comics, publish a domestic comic based on national history, perhaps modeled after ''Asterix''.〔 Lekić asked several artists to send their ideas about an early Slavic hero to the magazine.〔 The working title of the comic was ''Bikan''.〔 On the editorial staff meeting, the drawings of painter Lazo Sredanović, who was a graduate from the University of Arts in Belgrade and until then had little to do with the Yugoslav comics scene, gained most attention.〔 Translator Krinka Vitorović suggested that the name of the character should be changed to Dikan.〔 First part of the first ''Dikan'' story, entitled "Buzdovanske igre" ("Morning Star Games"), was published in 903rd issue of ''Politikin Zabavnik'' on April 18, 1969.〔 ''Dikan'' stories were, during the years, written by a number of writers: Ninoslav Šibalić, Milenko Maticki, Branko Đurica, Slobodan Ivkov, and Lekić himself.〔 Last three ''Dikan'' stories, published in 2004, 2009 and 2014 respectively, were written by Sredanović himself.〔 In ''Politikin Zabavnik'', ''Dikan'' was published in sequels, usually a page per issue.〔 Until today, 24 Dikan stories were published.〔 In 1973, ''Politikin Zabavnik'' appeared in Slovenian language, and in Slovenian issues ''Dikan'' was renamed to ''Tilen''.〔 In 2013, Serbian publisher Everest Media published first out of four planned books with collected ''Dikan'' stories.〔 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「Dikan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
