Polski komiks autobiograficzny w kontekście rozwoju gatunku na świecie
Polish Autobiographical Comics and the Global Development of the Genre

Summary/Abstract: Pstrągowski outlines the history of the Polish autobiographical comic book. He draws attention to the pioneering works of Mieczysław Kuczyński, then zooms in on the earliest writers of autobiographical comics – Michał Śledziński, Wilhelm Sasnal, Agata Nowicka and Mateusz Skutnik. He also includes two writers who are usually overlooked, namely Pola Dwurnik and Paweł Gierczak. For Pstrągowski, there are two breakthrough moments in the development of the genre. The first took place around 2008, when the comic book Marzi was released on the Polish market; the second can be dated to 2012, when Agata Wawryniuk and Olga Wróbel published their graphic novels.
