Mirko and Slavko (Serbo-Croatian: Mirko i Slavko) was a Yugoslav comic book series about two Partisan couriers, started in 1958 and ended in 1979. The creator and the main author of the series was artist Desimir Žižović "Buin". During the 1960s and early 1970s, Mirko and Slavko was the most popular comic in Yugoslavia, becoming the only Yugoslav comic to be adapted into a live action film during the existence of the country. In the mid-1970s the comic's popularity heavily declined and it was discontinued at the end of the decade.
