 John Danger Dixon (20th February 1929 - 7th May 2015) was an Australian comic book artist, best known as the creator-writer-artist behind the newspaper comic strip Air Hawk. Although I have much news to share about my personal comic doings in the immediate future, I just want to delay announcing those to spend a moment honouring my friend. It was sixty years ago today (on Saturday the 11th May) that the daily Air Hawk strip first appeared in Australian newspapers. It was some twenty-five years later (in May 1988) that, with John's blessing, I published the first Comicoz issue of John Dixon's Air Hawk Magazine.

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...
