After a bout of Flu that didn't (fortunately) kill me, I am back and able to tell you all about comics that I am publishing, that others are publishing, and all that are deserving of your patronage. One that I highly recommend, and that I have subscribed to for the past two years, is the Minicomic of the Month Club. This initiative by Andrew Fulton is really straight forward. You hand over $32 (if you are in Australia or New Zealand; $48 if you live elsewhere), and each month for twelve months you are sent a small mini-comic that arrives in your letter box filled with goodness.
Next year's roster of artists have just been announced: Matt Emery, Tom Eccles, Ashley Ronning, Joshua Santospirito, Kathy Sarpi, Freda Chiu, Catriona Drummond, Jo Waite, Aaron Billings, David Blumenstein, Gemma Flack and Andrew Fulton. Okay, so some of them you don't know, and some of the submissions may not be to your taste. But the point is, you are exposing yourself (in the nicest possibly way) to some artists that are deserving of having your attention for at least a few minutes. The beauty of the process is that you will discover an artist or a story that you otherwise would not be aware of, and it may even touch you in unexpected ways. At least click here: http://minicomic.club/2015/ and consider your options. But hurry! The cut-off time to subscribe is the end of September, with the first mini-comic to arrive in your letterbox in early October.... |
Comicoz is Nat Karmichael's publishing imprint. Nat is committed to preserving a permanent collection of Australian comic and comic strips. He feels that there is a need to recognise comics' contribution to and depiction of Australian culture.
Nat Karmichael.
In 2024, the Australian Cartoonists Association bestowed Nat the honour of The Jim Russell Award for his "outstanding contribution to Australian cartooning". He is available for public speaking. Since 2011, Nat has self-published over twelve comic-related books and many more comics. He is presently the Membership Secretary of the Australian Cartoonists Association. He is the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers). Nat has now retired and spends most of his time with his long-suffering wife, occasionally seeing their six children and fourteen grandchildren. He still plans to publish more comics and comic-related books, the details of which you should see here on this website in the coming months...

We pay respects to elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples.
