Laterna Magika wurde erstmals bei der Weltausstellung 1958 im Rahmen eines Programms präsentiert, das die Kultur der Tschechoslowakei bekannter machen sollte, und verbindet Theateraufführungen unterschiedlicher Genres mit Filmen, die auf der Bühne auf mehrere Leinwände projiziert werden. Die experimentelle Anlage, die Verknüpfung verschiedener Kunstformen, die Verschaltung von Kunst und neuen Technologien, die große Bedeutung für das internationale Auftreten der Tschechoslowakei und die Zusammenarbeit mit einer Vielzahl interessanter Persönlichkeiten machten und machen Laterna Magika zu einem einzigartigen Phänomen in der tschechischen / slowakischen wie in der internationalen Kunstlandschaft. Diese Monografie, die die Jahre von 1958 bis 1992 in den Blick nimmt, handelt von einem Phänomen, das durch zahlreiche Widersprüche bestimmt ist: Laterna Magika ist fragmentarisch und komplex, zerstreuend und immersiv, vergangen und gegenwärtig, reproduziert und live, traditionell und progressiv, ideologisch und ideologiekritisch, populär und elitär, diskret und voyeuristisch.

As Czech comic culture gains momentum in the new millennium, artists and fans are starting to excavate the country's rich comics heritage. This richly illustrated volume presents the first survey of Czech comics, from the early twentieth century to the present. The story begins with Koule, the first comics magazine in Czechoslovakia, which ran from 1926 to 1928, and which included Antonin Burka's fashionably dressed dandy character Skulifinda, Otto Messmer's Kocour Felix (an adaptation of Felix the Cat) and, most famously, Adolf, Ladislav Vlodek's tales of the adventures of a young boy, which was partly inspired by early American comics. Koule was succeeded by Punt'a (1935-42), but after the war there followed a fallow period, which was brought to a halt by the arrival of Ctyrlistek in 1969--Czechoslovakia's longest-running comics magazine. Following the liberalization of social conditions in the mid-1980s, Kometa published adventurous works by Jan Patrik Krásny, Marko Cermák, Vladimir Tucapsky and Jan Stepánek, as well as earlier work by Kája Saudek. Starting in the mid-1990s, a slew of magazines began to add critical mass to this burgeoning culture, among them Crew, Aargh! and, mostly recently, the alternative comic magazine Kix!. The detailed essays throughout the book are in English, while the comics, reproduced in the original, remain in Czech.
