Overview

Like comic books? Like Wes Anderson? Then do we have the event for you. Well, actually, it's more than just a party — it's a place. Welcome to Junky Comics and their official store launch.

Making the leap from online retailer to bricks-and-mortar store, this labour of love from Brisbane illustrator Junky is your new pop culture haven. The fresh arrival on the West End scene offers all the alternative and indie publications you've always wanted, plus all the usual Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and Image stuff too. Think everything from '60s feminist cartoons, graphic novels and zines to art books, magazines and literature.

To celebrate, they're throwing a shindig in style — Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel style, that is. Teaming up with the folks at NOFUN for their first group show of 2015, the Junky Comics launch doubles as the opening night of Unpaid Interns: An Artistic Tribute to Wes Anderson. The exhibition is a tribute to the films of the inimitable writer and director, showcasing work from artists, illustrators and graphic designers from over 10 different countries.
