Κουλούρι by tomek

I am very fond of this comic. It’s funny, quirky and unique and it’s written and drawn by Tomek.

I really, really like Tomek’s art, its so detailed and so enjoyable that just by looking through the pages of the comic you get a whole story and then you read it and you get yet again another story!

l didn’t get around to reading all the issues. They are seven issues in total and they were published by Jemma Press from 2011 through to 2016.

The comics is called Koulouri (Κουλούρι) I don’t know why, maybe l should ask at some point.

Well it’s time l started reading my Friday comic, instead of gazing the amazing covers.

Tell you all about it soon.

Finding Comic Books – Sifnos

August 23, 2018 | Costas Barbatsis

During summer vacations instead of a book, I look for a good old comic book.

This summer while having a walk in Apollonia, the chora of the Greek island Sifnos I found a small book store which had several old comics from the Asterix series.

I bought Asterix and Kleopatra the Geeek translated version.

Although I had read it as a kid it always was one of my favourite comics which was missing from my collection.

I am glad that I continue all these years this “tradition” of mine of no matter where I might be I will always try to find comic books!

Like a Dream

Isn’t this an amazing picture?

Yes, it is and it’s one of Konstantinos Sklavenitis creations. This painting is one of several which will be part of his two-day exhibition.

Konstantinos Sklavenitis is a cartoonist and a comic book artist.

Tomorrow he will have his very first exhibition and presentation of his first comic book.

The art in the comic book is similar to the items that will be part of the exhibition.

I really enjoyed watching how he was setting up the exhibition hall with friends. While they were putting up the final details I had the chance to walk around and admire his art.
