Bob Solanović

Robert Solanović, simply known as Bob, is one of the top Croatian comic artists, which is (to be fair) not a hard thing to accomplish, because we don't have many of them...


With the great proudness that Bob is my friend, I'm posting here some of his works. First, I wanna point out that he is not just an author, but he's still a comic fanboy, too. You can see that well in his works, and what's more important, you can actually feel his general passion for comics in his drawnings.


His most popular character is Mister Meow. He created the character some ten years ago and one of Mr. Meow's adventures was once published in the States by Radio Comix.

In Croatia, Bob is currently working on his second Mr. Meow Hard Cover Collection and, in the same time, he draws short comic Kljunovi (The Beaks) for the Q Magazine, the only regular croatian comic magazine.


Allthough, he's not a teenager anymore, Solanović is one of the authors that forms the youngest wave of comic authors from Croatia. Maybe, you've heard of some of them. That wave includes the late artist Edvin Biuković (Human Target), known writer Darko Macan (Grendel Tales), known paiter Esad Ribić (Loki) and fellow artists Goran Sudžuka (Y-The Last Man) and Goran Parlov (Black Widow). They all live (or lived, when it comes to the tragical loss of the talent that was late Biuković) in Croatia's capitol Zagreb and Bob belongs among them, but his time on the global (some would say - American) comic scene is yet to come.



He allready did some preliminary sketches for one US publisher, but the title was cancelled due to the publisher's other interests. Anyway, the future does look very bright for him, as he is drawing comics for local Croatian and Serbian markets and still waiting to be discovered by the publishers in the States.



More Bob's works can be found at ActionTrip Comics Archive (in English) and at stripovi.com (in Croatian language).

Soon to come - one complete web comic: The Adventure of Mister Meow!
Please check later this week! :-)
