š! #13 'Life Is Live' coming out soon!

š! # 13 is coming out on the 29th of April.

For this issue 26 international artists contributed comics to the theme 'Life Is Live' which focus on autobiographical stories. But don't worry, you will not get to see the classical autobiographical comics which currently are all so popular. Most of the artists taking part usually don't make autobio strips at all and interpreted the theme freely from very different perspectives. Some of the stories are also "only" semi-autobiographical and some even "autobiografictional"! Overall the issue is filled with very colorful, weird and surprising stories about life-from childhood through cyberspace until ...

The cover of š! #13 'Life Is Live' was drawn by Ana Albero, a Berlin-based artist who together with previous kuš! contributors Till Hafenbrak and Paul Paetzel founded Edition Biografiktion.
