''The Comics We Loved: Selection of 20th Century Comics and Creators from the Region of Former Yugoslavia'' is an awarded lexicon, co-authored by Živojin Tamburić, Zdravko Zupan and Zoran Stefanović, with foreword by Paul Gravett,〔Gravett, Paul. („Comics Culture in Yugoslavia: World-Class Innovators & Remarkable Visionaries“ ), 2011.〕 assisted by dozens of experts from Western Balkans. It was published by Belgrade based publisher "Omnibus" in 2011, being the first critical comics lexicon in Eastern Europe. == Summary == For the first time in the research of popular culture, there has been critically drawn together, in one place, the most important works and authors’ opuses from one of the centres of European comics—Former Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia in the 20th century was a region which was not only massively developing comics’ culture, but was also producing many important works of the history of comics, and even some masterpieces. This tradition has continued even today in the countries which were a part of the former Yugoslavia: Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The book provides basic information, panel examples and critiques or citations from critiques for about 400 comics from about 400 authors (about 200 artists, 150 script writers, 50 writers whose works were used in comics). With the help of about 100 comics critics from the whole of the Western Balkans, the book has been written and compiled by three co-authors – Živojin Tamburić (who is also inititator and editor of the book), Zdravko Zupan and Zoran Stefanović – who have been devoted to comics all their lives as readers, artists, researchers, promoters and collectors. The criteria that were used for the selection of comics are aesthetic and professional achievements, popularity, originality, sociological relevance and curiosities. The book is distinguished by many special research materials and a rediscovery of many forgotten authors’ opuses after many decades of obscurity. The book is published in Serbian, but the most important parts are translated into English. 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「The Comics We Loved」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
