It is about time I started writing a few words about some other Australian comics available out there, dear Web-Reader. If you are aware of any new Aussie product, please let me know so it can be shared with the world on these Web-Pages. What is worth your while, and what will waste your while, you need to know and I need to tell..... So over the next few days or weeks I shall attempt to alert you to some Australasian comics or Australasian comic-related products and/or happenings that I am aware of. First up, I suggest you race to the newsagent and seek out this little beauty! EEK! is a 24-page black and white comic in the Horror genre like the the Warren magazines of the early 70s or DC's 'Witching Hour' or the early 50s ECs. I suppose what I am saying, is it has been done before and is nothing new. However, the stories by Jason Paulos are well-written, well-paced and a whole lotta fun! The colour cover artwork and the interior art (also by Jason) show how far he has pushed himself as an artist since his early Hairbutt the Hippo days. This volume is now available in newsagents for only a measley $3.00 and has been published by those good folks from Black House Comics. I rate this comic highly: Good Value and Great Entertainment and I suggest you check it out today! |

He remains the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers).

He still plans to publish more comics and comic-related books, the details of which you should see here in the coming months...
