    kuš!

    kuš! (speak koosh!) is the only comics anthology in Latvia founded 2007 in Riga. Every issue contains comics from international and Latvian artists to a certain theme which changes every issue. The aims of kuš! are to popularize comics in a country where this medium is practically non-existant and spreading Latvian comics abroad. 

    kuš! doesn't only publish comics on paper, but  also organizes exhibitions, workshops, comics jams and other comics related events besides travelling to international festivals to spread the Latvian comics fever.
