Regardless of Context: Graphic Novels with the Faceless (and Homelandless) Hero of Branko Jelinek

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the mid-90s, Czech (as well as Slovak) comics got into a deep crisis - the artists that contributed to the feverish development of Czechoslovak comics during the transition era after the fall of the communist regime somehow dissapeared. After 2000, a completely new generation appear, without any connections to the previous one. At the same time, the entire local comics market underwent a transformation: comics were no longer dominantly published in magazines (as was common in the 20th century), the book took the place of the most common publishing platform (in relation with the global emergence of the so-called graphic novels). One of the most prominent artist who emerged in the new millennium was Branko Jelinek (1978), a Prague-based Slovak that published his debut trilogy Oskar Ed in 2003–2006 (collected n the Polish translation in 2009). A decade later, second graphic novel called Oskar Ed: My Biggest Dream (2016) appeared. Both of these Jelinek´s works are significantly detached (in form, in style, as well as in the content) from the prevalent local &quot;sub-type&quot; of graphic novel and from the Czech comics context. The proposed paper wants to focus on this particular uniqueness of the Jelinek´s works, on its global rendition as well as on the similarities and differences between these two outstanding comics. Last but not least, it also wants to discuss how his works go beyond the &quot;common&quot; scope of the Czech (or Slovak) production.
