The paper explores the relationship between poetry and comic strips, and the possibilities of merging the two media. Poetry in this process transitions from a verbal to a visual or comic strip language and comes to life in a new form – the comic strip medium. The paper presents examples of comic strips that include or interpret Slovene poetry in different ways, from a string of associative images triggered by individual verses, to substantive supplementation and creation of stories based on motifs from poems.
