Launched in October 1992 by Strip Core, Stripburger is a monthly fanzine dedicated to comic art and underground comics.


Pioneers of Independent Comics

Today, with over 40 editions behind it and after 18 years, Stripburger is still the only Slovene non-commercial comic magazine covering news about comics, theories on comics and works by Slovene and foreign comic authors. An important part of the magazine is its focus on comic exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad; it has developed into an important resource for Slovene comic fans on the international (and especially European) comic scene, while at the same time being the most important source of information for foreign followers of Slovene comic art. Stripburger has encouraged many Slovene comic artists to continue to produce comics and work on developing their style.

In collaboration with the Vžigalica Gallery, City Museum of Ljubljana, and KUD France Prešeren Gallery, Stripburger celebrates its 18th birthday with exhibitions, lectures on comics, comic workshops, and with the premiere of the animated film Stripburger v gibanju (Stripburger in motion) in Kinodvor Cinema.

Stripburger International

The cartoons are published in Slovene, Croatian, Serbian, English, and some issues are in English only. To date Stripburger has featured artists from distant lands such as Brazil, Israel, Korea, Albania and Kazakhstan, and has presented work by such renowned figures as Peter Kuper, James Kochalka, Aleksandar Zograf, Max Andersson, Jason, Edmond Baudoin, Stephane Blanquet, Lewis Trondheim and Joe Sacco, to name just a few.

Ecology, sex, madness, and physical handicaps have all been themes in special editions, while regular features have includes an Anti-nazi Calendar, Human Rights postcards and Stripburek, a special Eastern European anthology featuring comics from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and of course Slovenia. With its diverse activities Stripburger is exceptional not only in Slovenia but also in the international sphere, not least because of its concern with thematic issues such as marginalised social groups, human rights, madness, war and sexuality.
