Inspired by the works of Hal Foster and Jijé as well as Aleksandar Hecl's Tarzan illustrations, he submitted a couple of samples to Dečje novine in 1966.
[2] Plavšić went on to work on a war comic called Mirko and Slavko, the most popular Yugoslav title of the 1960s, published in the Nikad robom series as well as children's magazines Zeka and Tik-tak.
[4] During his tenure with the publisher from Gornji Milanovac, Plavšić got the chance to create his first character named Kelly Brando for the Zenit magazine, influenced by Arturo Del Castillo.
Plavšić went briefly to Munich, Germany in 1972 to draw stories starring Rolf Kauka's Fix and Foxi and Die Pichelsteiner in Walter Neugebauer's studio.
[5] He considered the latter his “artistic father.” Under Neugebauer's supervision, Kauka's Fix and Foxi became Germany's most successful comics magazine, even surpassing Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse.
In addition, Plavšić created a number of covers for Lunov magnus strip and Zlatna serija, featuring Italian characters such as Zagor, Tex and Il Piccolo Ranger.
