Comics
Since the late 1990s Mladina has encouraged the production of comics in Slovenia under the editorship of Ivo Štandeker (1961–1992). A strong generation of comic artists has emerged with Tomaž Lavrič, Zoran Smiljanić, and Dušan Kastelic as representatives. Lavrič's Diareja became the magazine's mascot and has been reflecting the daily politics for over 20 years. In 2010, Ljubljana's Moderna galerija / Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana plus Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova featured an exhibition of his comics. In 2017 Lavrič received Prešeren Foundation Award for his work.
Several famous people have collaborated with the magazine during its history inlcuding Slavoj Žižek, Rastko Močnik, Marcel Štefančič Jr., art collective Neue Slowenische Kunst and others.
