  STRIPBUREK - Yugoslavia
The commonly agreed upon founding stone of the Croatian comics is Vjerenica maca (The Sword's Fiancee) drawn by Andrija Maurovic, adapted by Kresimir Kovacic from the novel by Paul Feval and published in Novosti newspaper in 1935.
Andrija was occasionally working throughout the decade, too.
They did adventure and humor and, while Andrija and the Neugebauers watched movies (the silents in Andrija's case, Disney in Walter's) and created comics by ear, these new guys were brought up on comics, familiar with Hal Foster and Alex Raymond, therefore ending up in the medium not by chance, but by choice.

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.
In a relatively short timespan, several valuable editions came out, and certain works by Andrija Maurović and the Neugebauer brothers are justifiably counted among the greatest realizations in the entire pre-war history of the world comic strip.
