Graphic Novels

In early 2016, a select group of Australian cartoonists
and artists were invited to contribute to this Australian themed anthology,
to help raise funds for Beyond Blue. This 92 page, hardcover highquality
book was NEVER available in bookstores. Besides clearly
illustrating what an amazing talent pool of creative artists and cartoonists
were working in this medium in Australia around this time, one of the
contributors inside the volume went on to win an Award for their work!
Glen Lumsden’s contribution (“Kelly’s Revenge”) won him the 2016
Stanley Award for Comic Book Artist from the Australian Cartoonists
Association. Rob Feldman’s contribution (a coloured re-working of his
Oi Oi Oi! Special Nostalgia Edition) ensured he was a Finalist in the
same Award, and both Ian C. Thomas and Dani Vittz’ work were also
nominated. The end result? This book is a pleasing array of different
art styles and stories that should keep the even the most finicky of
comic readers satisfied.
