A lot going on around Comicoz HQ these days. Mostly preparing for Comic Gong held by the Wollongong City Council next Saturday, 11th May. Come along if you're near the area and don't be shy to say "Hullo!" Appearing at Tables A53 and A54 will be creative Rob Feldman. We're planning on launching Rob's Fridge Boy From Space at the event, and Rob (and I) will be there willing to autograph the first issue in the series of Australian comic books called "Comicoz presents". The series has just been issued an ISSN number (2982-060X) by the National Library's Prepublication Service, and more titles in the series will be announced shortly. Here's the cover to Rob's book. Just wait until you see how Rob plans to 'dress up' for the occasion! I'm not going to say too much here, right now, as I need to madly get packing for the occasion! I'm driving down and looking forward to the event. Hope we can see you there...!!

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.
Since 2011, Nat has self-published over twelve comic-related books and was Publisher-Editor of Oi Oi Oi! -- the last series of nationally-distributed comic books of original stories to appear on Australian newsstands. He is a member of the Australian Cartoonists Association and edited the Association's journal Inkspot for 14 issues from late 2015. He remains the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers). Nat has now retired from his former occupation as a Clinical Nurse in the Psychiatric Emergency Centre in Queensland's largest public hospital, so that he can spend more time with his long-suffering wife and 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 in the coming months... Comicoz acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay respects to elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples.
