Presentation of comics Malgaj

One more promising Maisters evening is expected to be linked to the hosting exhibition about Malgaj, which we opened in Maister’s birth house on March 14 this year. You also learned that the authors of the exhibition from the Museum of Recent History Celje decided that this time the exhibition will be accompanied by a comic instead of the usual catalogue. With this, they wanted to present history, important events and personalities to the younger audience in a form that is closer and better to them. The author of the comic book Franjo Malgaj – the young man selected by history – Marijan Pušavec, took care of the script, and Gašper Kranjc, which he painted. How did the stories about this young boy and his important acts for Slovene history go, and everything went into a comic book, you will be told by yourself if you come to listen to Maister’s birth place.

Marijan Pušavec graduated from the Comparative Literature and Slovene Language with Literature at the FF in Ljubljana. He was employed as a theater lecturer at the Slovene Folk Theater in Celje and then at the home study section of the Celje Library. He is the literary editor of the Mentor magazine. He published book reviews and theatre criticism, and also worked with the Amateur Theatre Group Theater across the road from Kranj. He writes short stories. He is a co-writer in the comics of Zoran Smiljanic and this time a script writer about Malgaj.

Gašper Krajnc first attended a high school of printing and paper, already flirting with the art world, but after finishing high school, he decided to study theology. Soon he realized that this was not the right choice. So, he and his friend Marko Renko first started 2 D animations. It was only after this episode that he was attracted to the comic, which he considered an ideal medium for telling stories.
