Making News in Coffs Harbour...

30/3/2012

Fran Stephenson, from the Bunker Cartoon Gallery has kindly informed me that Carlene and I made Page Two of yesterday's 'The Coffs Coast Advocate' following our weekend visit... I have not seen the original newspaper clipping just yet, but I understand it runs along similar lines as the on-live version that appeared the day after our visit (as detailed below).

There are more plans in the months ahead for us to promote John Dixon's Air Hawk, and I shall post them here when I have more details. There are also some exciting new developments in the wonderful world of Comicoz, and this will also be shared when plans are more concrete. Be still, my beating heart!
Rest assured, you will read about it here first!

Carlene and I want to say "Thank You" to everyone at the Bunker Cartoon Gallery for making us feel so welcome last Saturday (yesterday). We enjoyed our (very short) stay in Coffs Harbour so much, we have even begun talking about moving there more permanently...! To be continued....??!!

In the meantime, let me orientate you, dear Reader, of how to find the Gallery; and urge you - once again - to make sure you make it on your list of 'Things to Do in 2012'...

Here for your visual pleasure, are the Original AIR HAWK dailies Comicoz is donating to the Bunker Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour this Saturday. It is a complete week of work by John Dixon, taken from his early 1970s Heyday... For the record, it is week eleven (of sixteen weeks) of his 33rd daily adventure, "A Bag Full of Wallabies".

The work features the main Air Hawk characters, pilot Jim Hawk, Sister Janet Grant, and Sgt Bob Fenton, and - of course - the marvelously detailed backdrop of the Australian Outback and John Dixon's wonderfully detailed aeroplanes...

"AIr Hawk" comes to the Bunker Cartoon Gallery!

I have talked about The Bunker Cartoon Galleryin a previous posting, but 'for those who come in late' (as they say in the classics), the Bunker Cartoon Gallery is Australia's first and only dedicated black and white cartoon art gallery.   It is housed in an underground World War II bunker that has been converted into a contemporary exhibition space.
Shame Shame!!   For all my passionate support of all things Australian, especially all things Australian COMIC-related, I must confess to you - I have never visited the Bunker.   It is only about 5 hours drive south of Brisbane (in Coffs Harbour), so I really have no excuse for not having visited...
Shame Shame!!   For all the Bunker's thousands upon thousands of original Australian Cartoon Art within its collection, it doesn't have one piece of original John Dixon artwork....
All of this is going to change next Saturday! Carlene and I are driving down to Coffs Harbour with the express intention of seeing the Bunker Cartoon Gallery for the very first time - and donating a couple of Original John Dixon Air Hawk strips to the Gallery into the bargain!   So now every Australian can view the original artwork of one of our Greatest Adventure Strip Artists in the comfort of this Gallery.   And now no-one has any excuses not to visit Coff Harbour's Bunker Cartoon Gallery!
