Acquaint yourself with the latest and best editions of Czech and Slovene independent comic and illustration scene.

Xao is a gallery, book store and small independent publishing house from Prague that focuses on contemporary illustration and comics. Stripburger is an international comic magazine and publishing house from Ljubljana.
