UA-139927741-1
On January 1st, this year, I invited 100 Australian artists and cartoonists (50 male, 50 female) to voluntarily contribute to a new comic book anthology that Comicoz planned to release to benefit beyondblue. The final deadline for entries is in two days time. As preparation for the hardcover book soon begins, it is with great pleasure that I announce the title of the book:
"AUSTRALIA!" Yes, as simple as that! I won't release the names of the contributors to the volume just yet, although it gives me great pleasure to announce that the cover will be illustrated by Lesley Vamos. More details later in the week! |
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...
