Last weekend, I attended the FEC Extravaganza at All-Star Comics in Melbourne. FEC and All-Star put on a hell of an event showcasing three new books: Alisha Jade’s Seven, Ben Michael Byrne’s Kranburn #4, and the anthology horror book Fireside Tales.
There was a lengthy and highly entertaining Q&A with the creators, as well as signings and, most importantly, free beer! With All-Star packed out, it was clear to see that there is a lot of support for the excellent work being produced by local talent.
I picked up all 3 titles and was impressed with the overall quality of what I read. Here’s some quick reviews:

Hi All
In order to celebrate the release of issue #4 Ben Michael Byrne’s excellent Kranburn, FEC Comics are putting on An EXTRAVAGANZA!!!
Not only are they releasing Kranburn, but they’re also releasing two new comics – FIRESIDE TALES – A horror anthology collecting three brilliant stories from some very talented Australian creators; Alex Smith, Andrew Shaw, Billy Tournas, Mike Wszelaki and Will Pleydon, & SEVEN – Fairy tales were once not so child-friendly. Alisha Jade delves into these origins and presents her interpretations.
How awesome is that! NCP will be there and we’d love you to say Hi!When: 22 September, 6.30pm
Where: All Star Comics Melbourne. Level 1, 410 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
Cya there!
