Help Keep Junky Comics Open Fundraiser
As it approaches its second birthday, the West End favourite is raising funds to keep trading.
Overview
Since opening back in April 2015, Junky Comics has proven more than just a space to buy books. A labour of love for owner, Major Leagues' bassist and devoted Brisbanite Vlada Edirippulige, the Vulture Street store has hosted art exhibitions, performances, drink-and-draw sessions and shindigs too. Basically, it's a one-stop reading, hanging out and having fun kind of deal.
In fact, Junky has probably helped you out a couple of times or so — by offering up highly curated reading materials you won't find just anywhere, and taking care of your weekend plans — so now it's time to return the favour. Keen to keep the shelves stocked and the place trading, while realising that she might need a little assistance to make that a reality, Edirippulige is throwing a fundraising party.
From midday on February 19, there'll be plenty of reasons to drop by Betty's Espresso to show your support, including beers from Young Henrys, a raffle for yet-to-be-disclosed (but certain to be ace) prizes, and plenty of bits and pieces for sale. That's how you can give a hand to the kind of graphic art and zine-selling establishment that's far, far removed from the usual stereotype. Keep an eye on the event Facebook page for the latest details.
