In the city, I mainly go to Minotaur for the big name stuff, they stock a great range of Australian stuff as well. But Sticky Institute has a few more 'thinking-persons' self-published comic stuff.
I'm new to the place as well, let me know if you want me to show you around :)

I'm a comic artist from Canada, coming to Melbourne in the new year.
Where are the comics at?

Piccie comes from Ambs. A good sweater should last 10 years, my Dad's got a windbreaker that's going on 20.

Yeah I feel like a bit of a dirty old man when I enter Polyester. Synthetic fabrics make me all greasy and cranky

I wish Sticky had been there when I was around... Polyester was the default choice for stockin' comics and zines.

Anyone lived in Auckland, NZ for any period of time? I'm new to Melbourne & looking for a "Cherrybomb" style independent comics store. Ziney/underground focus?

The Example - Tom Taylor, Colin Wilson

When Melbourne playwright Tom Taylor decided he wanted to turn his 2005 short play The Example into a graphic novel, he got short shrift from illustrators he sought to contact on an internet forum. They were wary of getting involved with a speculative project. Taylor finally got a sympathetic response from artist Colin Wilson. It was stroke of luck. Wilson, an illustrator with more than 30 years of experience, has worked on cult offerings such as anti-hero Judge Dredd from British comic 2000 AD, Star Wars comics and French detective fiction. Finding an artist with a style to match the content is not easy, says Taylor, 34, a long-time devotee of speech bubbles and the picture grid. "With comics you're trying to create a full story and you can't do a really deep, philosophical, hard-hitting piece with a guy who draws a predominantly cartoony style; it doesn't work if it's Daffy Duck."
