Collective Comics

Sky Noise from Melbourne points our way to the Wooster Collective:



“Late last year we invited a group of our favorite artists to try their hand at creating a series of narratives featuring their characters and street iconography. Many of the artists had never tried adapting their work into a storyline, so the project became equal parts challenging, exciting, and – ultimately – extremely creative and rewarding.

The results of this experiment have just been published in our first “Wooster Comix” The book features a group of over 35 artists from around the world.

http://www.woostercollective.com/2006/01/wooster_comix_1_now_available.html

They include:

Dr. D, Goin, Lobster Roll, Travis Millard, Adam Neate, Bob Krobbauer, Allison Cole, Vinnie Ray, Mel Kadel, Jon Burgerman, Isoe, Justin Kees, Lennard, The Killer Gerbil, MCA, Diego Bergia, Cody Hudson, 0190ren, Matthew Rodriguez, Urban Medium, Pash, Zonenkinder, Ryan Browne, TVboy, Tofer, Rekal, Judith Supine, Numskull, Rafael Badilla, Tihm, Pure Evil, Anthony Lister, Drawwer, Caliper Boy, Eric Orr, Mike Clark”

[Note that aforementioned Pure Evil is not the Australian 'Pure Evil'.]

Bang, Zoom

To the moon: six year veteran distro (New Zealand’s Moon Rocket) calls it a day.
Most small press distros last two to three years, this is a rarity. Kudos to Moira for outgrowing her original intent:

11/01/2006:

dear everyone,

this is getting ridiculous.

i started moon rocket when i was a university student. i had a flexible schedule and a big space of my own for projects. i was busy but it was easy to make time for creative projects, which was what i considered moon rocket to be.

six years later, i am working fulltime at a job i love, which takes a lot of my time and mental energy. [more at http://www.moonrocket.co.nz/]
