Helena Janečić (*1979) is a comic artist and painter. In her work, she explores queer identities and sexualities in the Balkans. Best known is her comic series around the superheroine Horny Dyke. In 2011, this first appeared in the album Horny Dyke on the Edge of Convention. Many of Janečić's comic strips and illustrations are inspired by U.S. films and television series such as "Mulholland Drive" or "Twin Peaks." In addition, she paints large-scale idylls in which she stages lesbian life in the context of rural, Slavic culture.
