I've spent the past week or two making headway in my "music-come-comic room" (essentially, our home's double garage). For years, yes years, I have worked around my disarray within this space, and I have finally done something about it! It's now positively organised! I'm not sure where I am going to fit all the stock of the new books in, though...! Iron Outlaw is still getting proof-read/corrected. I was going to work on the new John Dixon/Air Hawk volume, but I'm still searching for a specific article I need to include in the first volume. (I'm sure it's in my filing cabinet!) In the meantime, Dillon Naylor has asked me to publish another of his books. How can I say "No"?! And, because I like to keep you, dear Reader, up to speed before everyone else, here's the scoop....  Yep! There it is! The next book to be published by Comicoz! Pop Culture & 2 Minute Noodles. It's going to be a 270+ page hardcover volume, featuring all the comics from the early 1990s as well as about 30 pages of all-new material. Dillon Naylor and designer Jeremy Macpherson have been working hard on this for months and are now finishing off the layouts. The Kickstarter will be announced later this month,
I'm also slated to appear at my one-and-only show for 2025. Coming up in early August is my favourite event: Comicstreet in the Queen Steet Mall on August 2nd! Following my radio conversation with Steve Austin of ABC Radio Brisbane a few weeks ago, there was talk of a live broadcast happening at the event. I'm not sure if that's still the case, although it would be a wonderful exposure for the local comic creators if it does take place. Still, something I am looking forward to...! |
