Polski komiks autobiograficzny

Abstract

The article presents the history of Polish autobiographical comics, from the turn of the millennia up to the present day. The author points out that Wilhelm Sasnal and his comic book Daily life in Poland in 1999–2001 should be considered the first Polish autobiographical comic book author. Then he draws our attention to the major role of Michał “Śledźu” Śledziński and his magazine “Produkt”, his work is compared to the role of the American underground creator Robert Crumb and his “Zap! Comix”. Next the article tells us more about the work of Agata “Endo” Nowicka (as far as autobiography of women’s comics is considered) and a competition for short autobiographical comic book organized by Nowicka in “Wysokie Obcasy”, as well as comic books of three other authors representing the autobiographical genre: – Agata Wawryniuk, Olga Wrobel and Daniel Chmielewski.
