Janusz Christa was born on 19 July 1934 in Vilnius. At present he lives in Sopot. He made his debut in 1957 in "Przygoda" magazine publishing a short stories entitled "Kukuryku". Then for twenty years he was creating comic strips in "Wieczor Wybrzeza" paper. His well known hero Kajtek Majtek was born on 17 September 1958 and his friend Koko - three years later. In 1972 the most famous couple of his heros - Kajko and Kokosz - were born. He co-operated with "Relax", in which he published comics of "Kajko i Kokosz", "Gucek i Roch" and unforgetable "Bajki dla doroslych" ("Fairy tailes for the Grown-up") series. Since 1981 he managed to publish more than thirty independent comic albums with the total edition of seven and a half million copies. He become one of the most popular comic creators in Poland. There is no cruelty in his stories but a lot of humour and instructive joy. Unfortunately for the last few years didn't appear any new comic written by Janusz Christa. Neverthless we do hope that some day we will read a new "Kajko i Kokosz" comic.
