It's wonderful how everyone in the Comics Industry can sometimes help each other out... Here's an example... Since I wrote that Blog about '2009: The Comicoz Year in Review' wherein I hoped that I would find tme to write to Comic Fan John Clements. Well, I did get around to writing, and John was kind enough to call me at home recently. In our conversation, John mentioned in passing that Roy Thomas, Editor of American Comics Fanzine Alter Ego was seeking to get in touch with the late John Ryan's family, after they had used some of his (John Ryan's) material as the basis of an article on Australian Comics...  To cut a long story short, I was able to get in touch with Roy and helped facilitate contact with the late John Ryan's family... A copy of the magazine with John's article is now winging its way to Australia... So: Many Thanks John!
Anyone interested in checking out or purchasing Alter Ego #51 can access the Fanzine at www.twomorrows.com - and just let them know Nat Karmichael of Comicoz sent you! |

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...
