Alan Ford gre v Jugoslavijo

Alan Ford, originally an Italian comic book created in 1969 by Max Bunker and Magnus, soon after its translation into Serbo-Croatian, gained huge popularity in Yugoslavia. Its ironic take on the genre of espionage, combined with a surreal black humour and a satiri- cal critique of Italy and the West in general, apparently brilliantly translated as an ironic depiction not only of Yugoslav party politics of the period, but also of contemporary politics in post-Yugoslav countries. The article thus deals with the comic aspects of the Yugoslav Alan Ford, focusing on its specific irony and tautology, since both provide a direct link between the spheres of comedy and ideology.
