Zine and Indie Comic Symposium
Zines are the new big deal, and Brisbane holds a rather delightful selection of them. If you haven't familiarised yourself with the world of cult comics, independent publications and their ilk yet, here's your chance to learn about the ever-developing craft.
Overview
If you haven’t caught on yet, full-sized, over-priced gloss prints with the prefix 'maga' are dead. The 21st Century is all about periodic papers printed from the family HP, loosely stapled and lined with independent art, writings and everything original – aka zines.
If you haven’t familiarised yourself with the world of cult comics, independent publications or zines yet, you’d really best pop down to the Zine and Indie Comic Symposium at The Edge this weekend to learn about this ever developing craft. The fully-booked auditorium will hold some of our biggest local talents with their prints/pride and joys in hand as well as some tasty bargains and original art work for sale throughout the day - check out the full event program here.
The weekend will begin, as all great weekends do, with a Friday party at The Edge, with live music, awards, and three live Scribble Slams – a competition that combines paint, speed and WWE.
Burn your corporate-owned Bazaar, head to The Edge and get behind the local creatives all about doin’ it for themselves.
