Abstract:
In order to map the uncharted territory that is Austrian comics production and to bridge the missing link between comics academia and industry/society, two prominent figures of the latter— Gottfried Gusenbauer, director of the Caricature Museum Krems and founder of the NEXTCOMIC festival in Linz, and Martin Reiterer, independent (comics) journalist and editor of Comicland Österreich— wereinterviewed separately by Katharina Serles. Juxtaposed and assembled into a virtual talk about Austrian comics history as well as its contemporary scene(s), their accounts shed light on comics in, from, and about Austria and add a hands- on perspective to this volume.
