Konstantinovo raskršće #2 (Constantine’s Crossroad #2)
by Dejan Stojiljković & Dragan Paunović
System Comics

This is the second instalment of a trilogy graphic novel written by Stojiljkovic and based on his bestseller and award-winning book Constantine’s Crossroad. The story is located in Serbia during the Second World War and follows a German’s quest for the mystical sword of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great. The story also revolves around an interesting assortment of characters, some fictional (vampires), some real (locals, politicians, soldiers), which provides for a multi-layered narration. The story is complex and follows the book in details and we will need to see the last instalment to judge the success of this adaptation, but the drawing talent of Paunovic is astonishing, confident and mature in keeping the intensity of the narrative. 

Vekovnici #6 (Endless #6)
by Marko Stojanović & various artists
System Comics

This unique project in the comic history of Serbia was started eight years ago by Stojanović on script, and numerous artists from the Balkans who he persuaded to draw his stories. There are six main albums, plus one “zero” album, plus one spin-off, Bloodless, with two instalments. The story is about two vampires, Chen, a Chinese mystic, and Marco, a Serbian hero from the middle ages. Stojanović’s stories are not just descriptive, but also philosophical, reminiscent and summarise some local wisdoms and folk stories.  This sixth instalment is probably the best book of the series so far, because Stojanović has opted for one long story, instead of a compilation of short stories. This allowed him to develop a longer narrative of better dramaturgy and characterisation, and to confirm his talent of storytelling. Despite advanced age of this series, Endless is still far from the final explanation either from the beginning or at the end of the storyline. These albums and their beautiful art on pages and covers are going to be a valuable possession when the script writer and many of the artists become the leading authors of graphic albums in the years to come.
