 No sooner had I completed the Kickstarter for John Dixon's Complete Air Hawk Dailies, Volume 6, than I agreed to Dillon Naylor's request that we put out a comic collecting the complete Preston Peace and Battlers Inc comics in one volume. Whom am I to say "no" when I was one of the first people to actually publish the original series?! Preston Peace first appeared in Oi Oi Oi! (in Issue #7 for those who may have forgotten), with Battlers Inc having their first outing in the hardcover anthology volume Australia!
While I'm working on getting the Air Hawk volume in the mail - and the job is nearly complete - I've been working on Preston's Kickstarter. For the next few days, there's an "Early Bird" special price being run in the campaign. You can check it out by clicking here! In the meantime, there's a few other things going on. I'm extremely honoured to be selected to be judging the Rotary Cartoon Awards again this year (for the third year in a row, and for the fourth time in total). I'm also going to make an appearance at the Institute of Modern Art's Zine Fair on the 13th June (between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.) being held at the Judith Wright Centre. Entry is FREE for everyone who comes along! Details by clicking here. A week later (on 20th June), there's Brisbane Comic Creator's Market being held from 10 a.m. (to 3 p.m.) at Comics Plus (478A Ipswich Road, Annerley). Please come along and say "Hullo!", so I can show off some of my comics/books and talk about...well, anything you like!! |
