The Rise of the Polish State / Początki państwa Polskiego

A four-issue historical comic published in Poland by Sport i Turystyka between 1981 and 1988, The Rise of the Polish State (originally Początki państwa Polskiego) dramatizes the early medieval origins of the Polish nation. Created by a team of writers including Barbara Seidler, Elżbieta Kowalewska, and Eliza Lewandowska, with art by Marek Szyszko and Mirosław Kurzawa, the series stands as a distinctive example of educational comics from the People's Republic of Poland era. Its careful historical focus and collaborative creative process make it a notable artifact of Polish sequential art.
