In 1982 "Funky Koval" was created, recognized as the best Polish comic. Three parts have been published until today. The last Polch's work of art are six parts of "Wiedzmin" (based on Sapkowski's novel) about which comic fans said that they were as bad as bad can be.
Polch' s way of drawing is very detailed, elegant, dynamique and clear. The drawer created more than one thousand comic charts, published twenty five albums in Poland with the total edition of five million copies.
Below you will find what Christa said about Polch:
"Oh, Polch...This one is really incredible. He showed me once a chart from his "Funky Koval". There was a man drawn there with a coin in his hand, on which there were placed all the inscriptions, just as on the real one. He must have drawn it with a magnifying glass! I asked him why he is doing this if nobody can noticed it. He said: '...but I know that it is there'."
