| | HiES - Croatian Comic Strips Before WWII |
 | | Immediately noticeable are the chief traits of Maurović's drawings, which were, by dint of their uniqueness and recognizability, to make him famous throughout the world: sharp contours, perfect mastery of fl-and-white contrasting, extraordinary visual, almost cinemastic, dynamics. |
 | | And even though a mere decade had passed since Maurović's 'Vjerenica mača', this generation of young and talented authors (later named "the first generation") managed to establish a very firm foundation on which the comic strip in Croatia was to build an even brighter future in the postwar period. |
