KARUSEL-POVRATAK ZEMLJI

Unfolding Quest is not simply a comic book; it is a cinematic object disguised as sequential art — a visual
meditation unfolding across shifting terrains of time, genre, and imagination.
At its center stands Pai, a blue-skinned wanderer whose Smurf-like exterior conceals a Buddha-like
stillness and an enigmatic inner life. Pursuing him is Colonel Wolan, a figure reminiscent of an
eighteenth-century gentleman of fortune — hunter, witness, and perhaps mirror — whose relentless
pursuit carries the narrative through fractured landscapes: a nocturnal card-sharp duel aboard a train, the
desolate expanses of a post-apocalyptic Central European hinterland, and the ceremonial court of a distant
sci-fi empress.
Yet narrative is only one layer of Mileta Postić’s vision. The true force of Unfolding Quest lies in its
visual thinking — in the mysteries hidden within each meticulously composed panel and in the charged
spaces between them.
Echoing the dream logic of Alice in Wonderland refracted through a psychedelic dystopia, Postić
constructs a hybrid world where historical epochs collide, costumes migrate across centuries, and genres
dissolve into one another. Reality is neither rejected nor imitated; it is reassembled into a parallel
continuum that feels at once estranged and intimately familiar.
Postić’s drawing is dense yet restrained. It is baroque yet precise. Action in Unfolding Quest unfolds with
deliberate understatement, allowing suggestion and unsaid to activate the reader’s imagination. Meaning
resides not only within the frame but in the off-space — the invisible arena where images resonate and
transform. Here, a demi-monde of Central European drifters, card sharps, police officers, women of
ambiguous virtue, extraterrestrial travelers, and the elusive Pai move together within the grand guignol of
Postić’s boundless imagination.
The result is a work inhabiting a visual grey zone — where Quentin Tarantino’s absurdist rhythms
intersect with the wasteland poetics of Hermann’s Jeremiah, where philosophical notions of resemblance,
contiguity, and causation brush against the uncanny symbolism of the digital age- the crazed AI
emoticons.
Unfolding Quest invites not passive reading but active wandering — a journey through images that
dream, resist, and unfold beyond their own borders.

Island, druga polovina X veka. Halstejn Tordov sin vraća se u domovinu nakon sedam godina izgnanstva zbog ubistva svog prijatelja iz detinjstva, Hravna Ragnarovog sina. Samo, nisu svi srećni zbog njegovog povratka – Ejnar, Hravnov brat, željan je osvete. Hoće li Halstejn uspeti da pronađe mir o kojem je toliko dugo sanjao? Novi grafički roman Erika Krika, još jedna stripčina u izdanju Besne kobile.

Klasična fantastika u stripu su skrivena vrata kroz koja čitalac može da pobegne od stvarnosti.
Uz klasičnu fantastiku, čitaocu se pruža prilika da zaroni u korene ovog književnog žanra, nekada smatranog „manje vrednim“, a danas uzdignutog na pijedastal i rasprostranjenog širom sveta.
Osam predstavljenih priča ilustrovali su umetnici svetskog renomea, a adaptirane su prema delima osnivača žanra: Edgara A. Poa, Hauarda F. Lavkrafta, Vilijama H. Hodžsona, Roberta E. Hauarda, Džozefa S. le Fanua i Montagju R. Džejmsa.

U šestom broju edicije Lunov magnus strip na Bis! ponovo nam stiže omiljeni rendžer — Teks Viler, u društvu svog vernog partnera Kita Karsona. Pred čitaocima su dve samostalne avanture koje, osim glavnog junaka, povezuje i isti scenarista — Antonio Camberleti.

U epizodi Na tragu Kita Karsona, Teks kreće u potragu za nestalim prijateljem, ali ono što započinje kao rutinska potraga ubrzo prerasta u opasnu misiju punu zaseda, tajni i neprijatelja koji vrebaju iz senke.

U priči Jazbina kukavica, rendžeri se suočavaju sa grupom odmetnika čije delovanje preti da destabilizuje čitav kraj. Teks i Karson moraće da upotrebe svu svoju snalažljivost, iskustvo i hrabrost kako bi stali na put bezakonju.

Dve dinamične, napete vestern avanture koje donose sve ono zbog čega je Teks jedan od najvoljenijih junaka italijanskog i domaćeg stripa.
