The comic Journey to the End of the World by General Umberto Nobile Expedition is an authorial interpretation of a real event that took place in the 20’s of the 20th century. It is a sensational experience of the Italian expedition that tried to conquer the North Pole in a balloon, but they were entrapped by their own fixation. The expedition took its toll and many innocent people lost their lives including the famous polar explorer Amundsen! In 1996, this comic was a part of the project “Journey to the end of the world” held in the Nova Gallery in Zagreb, which incorporated ambient music by Toni Ostojić as well as wood sculptures of polar animals and icebergs. Last year, on the occasion of 40 years of Croatian comic, in the Q magazine, Darko Macan, a great connoisseur and comic author, proclaimed it to be one of the 5 best comics. It’s really flattering, but it also obliges me to continue dealing with this fantastic medium. It should be mentioned that Sandro Đukić helped me in the realization of the comic with his profound knowledge of computers and his superb eye of a designer.
