”ALTERNATIVE COMICS AWARD 2020 (+ SEA SUPPORT) @ ANGOULEME COMIC FESTIVAL, FRANCE – Editing a comic book fanzine is more like a cross-country race, than a short-distance sprint race. Because it is a work of editorial research, of experimentation. KOMIKAZE is one of the best examples of this with its editor Ivana Armanini who, with determination and a keen artistic sense, selects the content of each issue. This fanzine with annual periodicity offers a very sharp selection of complete stories from several authors of the world alternative scene, little or not known, but who each offer original comics. A regular participant in the Angoulême Fanzine Prize for many years (since 2004!), The jury which decided to award it the 2020 Alternative Comics Award appreciated the regularity of annual publication as well as a keen eye for authors, especially with the discovery of a whole generation of authors from Eastern Europe, much more fruitful than one might think.” / TEXT BY THE JURY (* FRENCH VERSION)
The list contains interviews, reviews & archives of the artist ivana armanini, since first public art appearance at last century (1993).

2022. IN YOUR POCKET / ZAGREB CITY – “Ivana Armanini has spent the last twenty years editing and publishing Komikaze, a annual or bi-annual magazine devoted to alternative illustration and comic strips. As an artists herself, Armanini has moved from a punky agitated drawing style to a smooth, meditative, almost abstract approach to illustration that has itself been a major influence on the emerging illustrators and mural painters of today. As a scene-maker, and nurturer of others, she has done an extraordinary amount of good work for the Croatian scene, picking up well-deserved international prizes. Her own work is for the time being visible in print – in Komikaze, in her own book Alice in Waterland, or on her own site at https://ivanaarmanini.net” –eng

Gloria je detektivka kompleksnog karaktera i nekonvencionalnog životnog stila, parodijski lik priča i stripova koji na anarhoidan način izvrće ne samo žanrovske stereotipe, nego i vizualne, jezične i narativne konvencije. Sjajan primjer spoja anarhoidnog humora te jezičnog i vizualnog eksperimenta”, navode.”
2021. JUTARNJI LIST / PATRICIA KIŠ
Croatia’s biggest cultural success of early 2020 came from an unlikely quarter, with the Zagreb-based alternative comic-strip magazine Komikaze picking up the best alternative comic award at the prestigious Angouleme Festival, the graphic-storyteller’s equivalent of the Hollywood Oscars. The award is a well-deserved tribute to the indefatigable efforts of Komikaze’s long-serving editor Ivana Armanini, who founded the magazine in 2002 and has heroically kept it going ever since, despite vertiginous ups and downs in its search for funding and revenue. Featuring 20-30 short strip-cartoons by different authors in each issue, Komikaze functions as an essential platform for emerging talent from Croatia and the wider region. Featuring work that is abrasive, challenging and punkish alongside graphics of rare lyricism and beauty, the magazine provides an essential glimpse into a local illustration scene that has always packed a lot of surprises.Ivana Armanini is herself an artist of distinction, producing almost abstract strip cartoons which juxtapose blocks of geometric colour in a way that’s seductive as well as unsettling. She is also adept at conventional narrative: her comic-strip account of the career of Croatian artist Dimitrije Bašičević Mangelos (scripted by Marko Golub) was one of the artistic events of 2018. Of all Croatia’s comic-strip artists (and there are many talented practitioners), Armanini has emerged as one of the most internationally recognized, and the most unique .JONATHAN BOUSFIELDJ
