Overview
May 2 might be known as Free Comic Book Day around the world; however, Junky Comics — aka Brisbane's new and creative comic book store — is giving it a different spin. They're focusing on zines, and they're thinking closer to home.
As well as enjoying the sales on stock from Fantagraphics, Drawn and Quarterly, Nobrow, Topshelf, DC, Marvel and Vertigo, customers can take home work created by local zine makers for free. Or, they can take them out the door and up the road to the End, where the afterparty will start rocking from 6pm.
The zine theme is also in full swing in the store's first workshop, hosted by Holly Riding. For a gold coin donation, you can learn tips of the trade, such as the best printing facilities, how to source contributors and how to put your ideas on paper. You can also design, write and create a zine on the day, while mingling with like-minded creative folks. Book now as spaces are limited, and then start thinking about how great it will be to make your own publication.
