Indie Comic Con Hits Melbourne

THE EVENT
Indie Comic Con, Melbourne’s newest comic book festival celebrating local and independent
comic creators. Saturday 4th November 2017, Northcote Town Hall.

OUR STORY

The concept of Indie Comic Con was born when two Melbourne comic artists missed out on a

spot at a major comic convention in their own city. Not for lack of great comics, but rather that

exhibition space was dedicated largely to fan art and merchandise instead. If a comic book

creator couldn’t get a table at a comic convention, where could they exhibit? Recognising that

exhibition opportunities for independent comic creators are limited in Australia, Nathan Onias

launched Indie Comic Con as a platform for independent creators to share their work with a

broad audience.

Indie Comic Con is dedicated to providing a market for independent Australian creators and

promoting interest in the craft of sequential art. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign

Indie Comic Con will be held at the Northcote Town Hall on Saturday, 4th November, 2017 from

10AM-5PM and feature over 40 creators from all over Australia. Indie Comic Con will put comic

books back in the forefront at a comic convention and connect indie creators to an audience

that is engaged in their art-form. Indie Comic Con is proudly sponsored by Comic Books On

Demand, Media Arts Lawyers, Work-Shop Melbourne, & The Comic Place.
