Help Keep Junky Comics Open Fundraiser

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.
