Stize napokon i dvadeseti, jubilarni, broj Strip Vesti. Sa obiljem informacija, na moje prijatno iznenadjenje, i to sa pozitivnim pred- znakom. Da odbacimo maler i krenemo ka boljim stripovskim danima. Nadam se da ce ovaj broj razuveriti sve one koji sumnjaju u brz oporavak strip scene posle svega ovog sto se desavalo. Strip je na nasim podnebljima oduvek zavisio od individualaca sto u nekoj normalnoj situaciji i nije bas dobro, ali nama u ovakvom zivotnom okruzenju daje sansu da se brzo oporavimo i vratimo na kolosek. Stanje u nasem stripu i nije bilo sjajno tako da se nije tesko vratiti na predhodno stanje, vazno je samo da su ljudi tu i da imaju volje da nastave gde su stali. Ja sam stao kod obecanja da vam SVesti saljem cetvrtkom ali nije islo (ovog puta zbog licnih obaveza), barem sam uspeo da se vratim na nedeljno izlazenje. S postovanjem,Zlatko Milenkovic Strip Vesti imaju cast da vas medju prvima obaveste da ce se na sledecem festivalu stripa u Angoulemu (naredni 27. festival ce se odrzati od 25. do 30. januara 2000. godine) odrzati i izlozba Srpskog stripa. Generalni direktor verovatno najznacajnijeg svetskog strip festivala koji se odrzava svake godine u Angulemu, Zan Mark Tevne (Jean-Marc Thevenet) poslao je zvanicni poziv Slobodanu Ivkovu da izvrsi selekciju strip autora iz Srbije. To ce biti prvi put uopste da strip autori iz Srbije organizovano izlazu radove na jednoj ovakvoj smotri. Tamosnje interesovanje je veliko jer su o nasim strip autorima njihove kolege i kriticari iz inostranstva mnogo culi, a pojedine su i videli u svojim casopisima. Zanimanje strucne javnosti je verovatno malo podgrejalo i, posle vise od 20 godina ponovo 1998. objavljeno, drugo prosireno izdanje "Svetske enciklopedije stripa" Morisa Horna za koje je, na zahtev autora te enciklopedije, Slobodan Ivkov napisao odrednice o cuvenim srpskim medjuratnim umetnicima ove graficke discipline. O formi prezentacije i preciznom nacinu postavke dela nasih autora, definitivnu odluku ce uskoro doneti strucni tim festivala. Strip Vesti Fables de Bosnie "Bosanske basne", posle Hermannovog albuma "Sarajevo Tango" i Cubertovog stripa "Fax From Sarajevo", jedno od najboljih (ako ne i najbolje) stripovsko ostvarenje o balkanskim ratnim igrama. Autor stripa je Tomaz Lavric (starijim ljubiteljima stripa poznat po politickom geg-stripu Diareja koji je u osamdesetim izlazio u Mladini). Bosanske basne su pre nekoliko meseci izasle kod vodece Francuske izdavacke kuce Glenat, sto je i prvi prevod nekog slovenackog stripa na strani jezik. "Fables de Bosnie" je pre nedelju dana na strip festivalu u Sierru kod Crans Montane osvojio Grand Prix, dakle prvu nagradu. To je ujedno i prva nagrada sa tog festivala za nekog crtaca izdavacke kuce Glenat. kekec Za one koji jos nisu poslali (a namjeravali su) radove za L'Associationovu kolekciju Comix 2000, moze ih razveseliti cinjenica da je rok produzen do 15.7. ove godine. Ponovimo: strip bez rijeci, 3-15 strana (sigurnije vam je pucati nizem broju strana), format otprilike 2:3. Darko Macan P.S. Vinkovaccki Salon trebao bi se odrzati oko 15.7. (detaljne propozicije za ucesce u ovom projektu mozete naci na sajtu SVesti #8, zainteresovani mogu i da se jave na moju adtresu pa cu im poslati kompletan tekst sa propozicijama. zmcomics) Colectivo Phanzynex is summoning the tenth issue of International Exhibition of Fanzines and Pro-zines (Expofanzines), that will be included within the programme of 11th Xornadas de Banda Deseñada (Ourense Comic Convention).

Ourense, May 1999 Remarks: (informaciju smo dobili zahvaljujuci Darku Macanu) - BATMAN/TARZAN - KORDEJ - FABULOUS FURRY FREAK BROTHERS - FILM - TRECA STRANA MEDALJE The SPLASH said: "On the publishing end, PLATINUM will not really publish any books. If it succeeds in licensing a property to another publisher it does so under an 80/20 profit split, with 20% going to the Creator." This is incorrect. The Platinum deal actually involves an 80/20 split of "direct market receipts", meaning that the creator would realize 20% of what Diamond paid for the books rather than 20% of whatever profit, if any, the book generated. While we've never seen a publishing deal structured like this, it appears it could be substantially fairer to the creator than what we reported. The SPLASH also said: "It appears that the deals they are offering are non-competitive with other companies such as FULL MOON, MOTOWN, KITCHEN SINK and DARK HORSE that have attempted the same 'comics to film' dynamic. Kitchen Sink reportedly took 40% of any property sold to Hollywood, while Dark Horse and virtually all of the European publishers work a 50-50 split with creators while offering decent page rates and/or publishing advances and no limit on how much a creator might realize from a sale." The SPLASH was incorrectly comparing the apples of comics publishing deals with the oranges of PLATINUM's film production deals. Scott Rosenberg explains the difference this way: "If we acquire a property, it's as a production company with the intent to develop the project for film and television, and if a comic book is not yet published and requires financing, we'll pay all of those costs. As a production company, our entire development staff is geared totally for film and television-we don't even produce comics out of our LA office, which is for development-and we actually produce the picture for the studios or financiers we set the projects up with. In general, (option fees and advances aside), intellectual properties are acquired by production companies for 5% (sometimes 10%) of profits. We generally acquire with a pool of 10% for the creators involved. Thus, if a publishing company offers a 50-50% split to creators and options a property to a third party film or television production company that pays 5%-10% of profits, the creators make 2 1/2%- 5% of profits (as compared to the 10% we offer)." The SPLASH also said, "PLATINUM says page rates will be small and it locks the creator into the above percentages just by signing the Submission Form." While PLATINUM admits advance page rates will be small, they say the signing of the Submission Form "opens the door for Platinum Studios to be able to review material sent by creators. It does not confirm the specific terms of future agreements, as those are negotiated on a case by case basis." While that may be their intent, the Submission Form creators must sign to have their project reviewed does include the phrase: "If we agree to option or acquire your project, Platinum Studios pays 5-10% of Producers Adjusted gross Profits...ranging up to $100,000..." The SPLASH also said: "Platinum caps any advance or purchase price at $100,000." This is a distortion of the actual deal dynamics. Rosenberg explains it this way: "We offer guaranteed advances to creators ranging up to $100,000 for produced pictures (depending upon budgets and individual creator situations). These advances are specifically based not on profits but on items such as timing of release, budgets, and, for TV, it depends on when, where and how many episodes are aired, as there are additional per-episode amounts. There are also additional amounts paid for sequels, remakes and other such productions based on the property (and for TV, spin-offs, TV movies etc). All of this is prior to determining profit - they are guaranteed amounts that are paid by Platinum to the creators. While we happen to believe in our profit definition, it still is a "back end" position, and we want creators to receive guaranteed payments (other than up front option fees and other bonuses or payments) by the commencement of principal photography. This way, they don't have to wait until Platinum's profits are determined later on, and won't even have to depend upon the existence of profits from the financing studio." The SPLASH regrets the errors and thanks Lee and Scott for being such good sports about it. While our reporting on the PLATINUM (or any other) deals should in no way be seen as advocacy, the SPLASH strives to report the news correctly and when we blow it we'll move quickly to get it right. Scott Rosenberg's complete statement to the SPLASH, which goes into much more detail about the PLATINUM deal, has been posted on the COMICON.COM MESSAGE BOARD for perusal and discussion. Anyone wishing to contact Lee Nordling at PLATINUM, can e-mail him at: lee@platinumstudios.com The SPLASH's earlier recommendation, that creators read ALL contracts carefully, and to ALWAYS pass them on to an agent or entertainment lawyer before signing on, still stands (and goes double for us)! 6.

Posto moram priznati da ne znam o kom se stripu radi, zamolio bi vas da mi (ako je to moguce) pomognete... Prica je izasla u Stripoteci, negde sredinom osamdesetih. "Neko" pokusava da nadje svoju izgubljenu ljubav, i na tom putu mu se pridruzuje jedna devojka... zajedno pronalaze ulaz u podzemno carstvo dusa umrlih... Na ulazu u Carstvo izlecu leptirovi, duse umrlih... ulaze i tu ih sacekuje vladar koji dozvoljava da se "izgubljena ljubav" vrati u zivot. Jedini uslov je da uzme strelu i da odapne u bilo kom pravcu... strela ce neminovno pogoditi neku od niti kojim je celo carstvo isprepleteno. zivot za zivot... Hvala i pozdrav, Kekec Ako znate nekog ko bi bio raspolozen da svakog petka dobije email sa STRIP VESTIMA, posaljite mi njegovu email adresu ili mu predlozite da nam se on sam javi i tako upise na mailing listu.
