AARGH #11
The AARGH! Anthology was founded in 2000 and it is published once a year. Its inception had two main reasons. It aspired to be a platform for young Czech creators of comics, and it also wanted to be a counterweight to a big wave of American action comics published in the Czech Republic. However the first issue already contained stories by authors from Poland and Slovakia. Today AARGH! Anthology presents Czech authors, but it also has an ambition to show original comics from the Central and Eastern Europe. Authors from those countries are absolutely unknown in the Czech Republic, but their work is very inspirative, innovative and fresh. Therefore AARGH! # 3 (2002) and # 9 (2009) were focused on Polish comics and # 4 (2003) on Slovak ones, but all of them contained also picture stories from several other countries from our region. AARGH! # 11 concentrates on comics from Hungaria, it includes several stories by Hungarian authors, an essay about the history of Hungarian comics, an article about reprints of Hungarian stuff in Czech periodicals from the 70s to the 90s, and a profile of the Czech cartoonist, painter and inventor Karel Klíč (1841–1926), who lived several years in Budapest and influenced Hungarian tradition of modern caricature. Nevertheless AARGH! #11 includes comics from Poland and Slovakia, as well.
