Oz Comic Con Melbourne 2013

After last years debacle of too many people in too little space this years Oz Comic Con in Melbourne was transported to the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens. I managed to snap a few pics from artist alley before my camera died. Are people getting sick of my holiday snaps? Seemed like a lot of mugging this year.

Public Emery Number One

Picked up a few gems from the locals and did a little bargain bin diving.

I'm a sucker for cheap Mandrake comics

New Zealand editions of Flash Gordon from Feature Productions don't pop up too often. I'm hoping to complete a book on the reprint era of New Zealand comics by September.

This particular issue of the Wally Wood published Heroes INC featuring Cannon seems to turn up often at cons in recent years. A warehouse find of 70,000 uncirculated copies probably accounts for some of them. I know a similar story about an Australian equivalent to that find, I'll have to write it up one of these days.

2012 in Review: Justin Randall

Justin Randall

What have been your cartooning/comics highlights of 2012?

Having book 2 of my graphic novel series, Changing Ways hit the shelves and then having the series picked up by a French publisher for a translated release.

Who are some of the comics creators that you've discovered and enjoyed for the first time in 2012?

I'm really enjoying Jim Woodring at the moment, his work is so surreal.

What is something non-comics that you have enjoyed in 2012?

The birth of my son, Far Cry 3, The new season of Misfits, RC helicopters, cycling, Prometheus and spending quality time with my wife.

Have you implemented any significant changes to your working methods this year?

I doubled the size of my working studio by relocated distracting toys such as consoles and a data projector to another part of the house.

What are you looking forward to in 2013?

Completing Changing Ways book 3 and then finding a new artist to continue the series.
