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?

Have you checked out sticky? Degraves subway.

Paaaaaaaaaarrrrrrttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

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

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

Can you spot the Melbs comix punks in this pic from 1997?

oh my god man, that's a cool picture.
I still have that purple jumper (full of holes)

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

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

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 :)

Hi, I'm new. Is there any sort of comics zine in Melbourne that locals can contribute to?

'Fistful of Comics' has been going pretty hard for a while now but I don't think they're Melbourne based. Maybe 'Yuck!' ? Tango is a bit more professional than a zine. I'd ask the friendly clerks at sticky because a lot of the mixed contribution zines like to receive illustrations.

Who's going to the Dark Contrasts launch this week?
