Short Summary
CBA (formerly known as C’est Bon Anthology) has been around for more than a decade, publishing lots of great comics that move far outside of the commercial mainstream. Over the years, CBA has featured comics by great artists like Anke Feuchtenberger, Olivier Schrauwen, David Mack, Mari Ahokoivu, Kolbeinn Karlsson and many more.
Since the beginning, the people behind CBA are C'est Bon Kultur (CBK), an association of art comics enthusiasts and creators based in Malmö, Sweden. We strive to publish comics that otherwise would be hard to find. Comics that bring something more than what appeals to the lowest common denominator, that challenge the notion of what comics storytelling can or should be.
Now the anthology has fallen on hard times (long story, which you will soon be able to read at our website), but that shouldn’t stop us from publishing fantastic art comics, right? That is why we’re asking for your help!
We’re looking for donations to cover the costs of printing and distribution of our upcoming anthology, CBA vol 36: In the Pits of Madness.
What's in the Pits of Madness?
The volume features a 43-page comic done in oil paintings by Spyros Verykios, as well as mind altering comics by Akab, Elena Guidolin and Serena Schinaia. The cover is by Radovan Popović. The volume is going to be 84 pages in total, and is edited by Mattias Elftorp, creator of various post apocalypse/dystopic comics and one of the founders of CBK.
