The new issue of Stripburger, adorned by a better-than-bacon illustration by Blexbolex, kickstarts with an editorial by Martin Ernstsen, a Norwegian comics artist, who deliberates on how to catch the fleeting moments and realities, how to save them from transience and why to choose comics form as a medium. Well, why indeed? Because comics are a medium of an especially wide and high range with only a few limitations, where “one can can travel throughout the universe,  from a black hole to an atom, see life through the eyes of an insect or experience the life of another human being”. It’s a medium for story-telling, for world-experiencing, for life-understanding and “all this can be done with almost no budget and virtually no compromise”. Now you know.

Again, as always, you’re kindly invited to discover the eclectic selection of comics masterpieces, various drawing styles, motifs and narrative approaches in this international ensemble of both established and up-and-coming comics artists that offer fresh comics-reading experiences. Indulge yourself!
