Funky Koval with delivery to Ireland

Funky Koval made his debut in "Fantastyka" in 1982. He took readers by storm, became the magazine's emblem and... an ambassador for comics. Aimed at an older readership than fans of "Relax" and other picture stories, it showed a remarkably rich world of the future, full of dazzling gadgets, vehicles, technology, weapons and even clothes. And beautiful women. The multi-threaded plot contained allusions to Polish reality, as did the hero's very surname. Most importantly, Koval was not constrained by didacticism or propaganda. It was a fully fledged adventure story, executed with panache, enthusiasm and a mastery of the rules of the comic form. And all this at the height of the boom in science fiction and fantasy. Today Funky Koval is regarded as the finest Polish comic and the crowning achievement of each member of the creative trio Parowski-Rodek-Polch.

This volume contains all four albums, with several panels from the original version restored, the episode Na białym szumie and a fragment of the unfinished fifth instalment. It also includes the short story Ostatnia przygoda Funky'ego, readers' letters and opinions, and a memoir piece by Krzysztof Lipka-Chudzik. Everything is in black and white, revealing the detail of the panels and the artistry of the linework.
