When they met, Bára despised classic Marvel comics, while Matthias studied its principles and tried to use them in his work. But in the meantime their styles and artistic views shifted, and one began to influence the other. This year's KOMA will present their first collaboration - a series of poster searches with a tramp theme. "We were curious to see how we could combine our disparate manuscripts within the same work, and we are delighted with the process and the result it has produced," they both say.
