Who is CBK?
We’re comic artists running a non-profit publishing organization! Since 2001, CBK has worked for a more varied and exciting comics culture in Sweden and on the international scene. The main vehicle for this purpose is the international comics art magazine, CBA. We also arrange exhibitions of comics art, festivals and other cultural events.
Our vision is to push the boundaries of what can be done in comics, to broaden the perspective of what the comics medium is and can be, both in relation to itself and to other art forms.

About the exibition

In the exhibition you can see samples from the two latest issues, inspired by the following theme descriptions:

KOLAŻ
Step into the world of KOLAŻ, where images are discovered, altered, and transformed — merged with sketches, digital twists, and layered reconfigurations. It’s a creative process of cutting, rearranging, and reimagining, where fragments are pulled apart and pieced back together. Story themselves are patchworks of moments stitched into something new, where unexpected contrasts may emerge and magic happens when each reader brings their own meanings, their own interpretations, their own fragments to the pasteboard.

THE BOX
What’s in THE BOX? Who wants to know? How big is it? Where is it? Is it on its way somewhere? Why does it matter? Why can’t you know what’s in it? Or do you know?

This issue is a box filled with stories. But what is THE BOX if you think outside the box?

The books can be ordered/pre-ordered from Hybriden:

15 artists cut and paste to create a surprisingly ominous collection of comics for this issue of innovative comics.

CBA vol 64: THE BOX

What’s in THE BOX? Who wants to know? How big is it? Where is it? Is it on its way somewhere? Why does it matter? Why can’t you know what’s in it? Or do you know?
This issue is a box filled with stories. But what is THE BOX if you think outside the box?

In this issue: three longer short stories: a space operette about a space ship driven by a Schrödingerian probability box, a documentary about a prison riot and its aftermath in early 1970s Argentina and a strange case of the Dispensator, a wandering nocturnal psychologist. On top of that, some shorter stories of ruminations and a text piece on the myth of Pandora’s box.
