Digital adaptation of Croatian Comics
Sažetak
The theme of this paper is to examine the interest in preserving the rich domestic heritage of comics on the Croatian market through digital screening. Based on the experience of business models such as Marvel Studios and Netflix, the available resources of Croatian comics could be offered in the form of digital screening. The research conducted confirms that the interest for adaptation of Croatian comics for digital screening exists among providers and users, and indicates that current obstacles for digital screening are significantly smaller than the value of preserving the heritage of Croatian comics through digitalization. The results obtained demonstrate there is some potential for a digital platform of Croatian comics and indicate a need for further preparations for its realization, including changing how the adaptation of Croatian comics is perceived by those who could produce it, as well as by those who would use it. This would not only increases the availability of Croatian comics to a wider audience, but also potentially enable their implementation into video games or mobile applications, thus further enhancing the value of Croatia's cultural and artistic heritage.
