Summary/Abstract: The currently evolving institutional system, means of circulation and characteristic media of Hungarian comics are vastly influenced by the global centers of comics culture. What possibilities arise for Hungarian comics and the critical-scientific study of comics in Hungarian culture, considered in their European context? In order to provide an answer, it appears to be useful to take into account the recent experience of the French, Belgian and Swiss bande dessinée, and its critical study, with the longest and perhaps most illustrious tradition in Europe. Several Hungarian cultural journals are currently beginning to include regular reviews of comics, and to publish theoretical texts on the subject. What are the ways in which comics seem to become interesting recently? Whichsubjects and fields of study draw most attention?
