Join workshops to learn how to draw comics or experiment with new forms of storytelling. In our shop you will find books from CBK, Tusen SerierWormgod and exquisitely selected international comics found at various festivals in different countries. We also have a comics library section where you with zines, anthologies and graphic novels where you can sit and read in our sofas.

WHEN: Friday, March 11, 16-22

EXHIBITION
The comics in the international comics anthology CBA have been called “supposedly poetical”. They have also been called “witty, challenging and eye-opening”. Judge for yourself when the all-new editorial crew show their own comics and artworks.
Same goes for Tusen Serier, where the inner circle shows their own works along with samples from the upcoming titles.
Artists: Amanda Casanellas, Christina Cromnow, Henrik Rogowski, Kinga Dukaj, Luddvig Melin, Mattias Elftorp, Oskar Aspman, Stefan Petrini, Steve Nyberg, Susanne Johansson, Shko Askari, Amalia Alvarez, Tanja Komadina, Jorge Varas Varilla, and Yossra El Said.

RELEASE: CBA vol 30: A NEW HOPE cbavol30cover
The members of the new crew have made the comics in CBA vol 30: A NEW HOPE, to signal a kind of new beginning for the series, and because we wanted to find out what we’re actually doing. Anything from angst-ridden animals to a psychosomatic virus to a postapocalyptic Malmö and fragments of lego. You have to see for yourself what all this means in the new issue…

JAM COMIC WORKSHOP
Between 16-19 you can join a jam comic workshop where we collectively create a story on the theme of WHATEVER. No pressure, we’re just drawing togehter because it’s fun! No experience required, just bring a bit of imagination!

COMICS!
And of course, all our books will be available, as well as a few extra titles, in the bookstore section.

We’re going until 22 or when we fall asleep/run out of wine!

Second Christmas!

Join us in celebrating the birth of our web-shop!

Once upon a time, there was a small group of comic artists with a big dream. 15 years later the shop was finally born. We invite you to celebrate this magnificent event, internally known as “Second Christmas.”

Saunter through our virtual bookshelves, sigh with pleasure upon seeing our works in all their glory and find that not only CBK‘s works are presented. Tusen Serier and Wormgod are our first affiliates that we are proud to represent.

We love taking orders from you!

Finally some NEWS!

Hello again, and welcome to our new website (designed by Kinga Dukaj)!

The new URL is www.cbkcomics.com (but the old one still works).

As you may have noticed, the site has been down for a while for maintenance/remodelling. We’re working on a new online shop that will be up soon, where we will sell all our books and where you can also find books from Tusen Serier, Wormgod and individual publications from the CBK crew. Why will we sell these books as well as our own, you ask? Well, it’s because some of our crew members are also part of these other groups, so we’ve started a cooperation for the distribution to help each other. This will be further developed in the future and books from more related groups will be added.

We are also in the process of moving! Since 2006, we’ve been part of the comics centre at Kulturhuset Mazetti. Now we’re moving in with Tusen Serier in their new space at Mitt Möllan, where we will have a studio/library/comic book shop/exhibition & workshop space. More on this later, when we’ve figured out a name for the place and a date for the moving-in party, which may also be the official release for our new issue: CBAvol30: A New Hope!

The Stockholm International Comics festival 2015 is over and done, already. Bittersweet because this was the best SIS festival in a long time. High on festival-endorphines we’re back and gearing up for Allan Haverholm’s exhibition and releaseparty for When the last story is told on May 22.

We also proudly and gladly announce that a part of C’est Bon Kultur, Steve Nyberg, won The Swedish Comics Association’s fanzine award this year with his fanzine “Maja-Stina”!

Congratulations Steve!

CBA vol 28 is here!

NEW ISSUE OUT NOW!

There’s been an absence of posts for a while and we haven’t even shown you some of the latest issues. But things are about to change. We have a new editorial crew and we’re working on catching up with everything, like sending out the latest issues to our subscribers. Please be patient with us!

Anyway, here’s a picture of our latest issues:
