I might be at OzCC Perth as an exhibitor, more on that later if it works out.

Shanan is very excited about that. She's met Amanda before, but RDA has never attended Dragon*Con when she is going (of course, he was there this year when she wasn't).

Matthew Clark just got announced for Perth and Adelaide. I missed getting something from him at Armageddon a couple of years back, so it will be good to have him back, although I'm hoping for some more high-profile comics guys to be named yet.

Same here mate. I already have an Etrigan by Matt, so I might see about getting an Oracle for Shanan this time.

Sounds like a plan, I'm thinking he has a flair for D.C. characters so I'll probably go that way too. Maybe Batgirl or something New Gods? He has done some great Captain Marvel stuff too.

Just went looking for the Clark piece amongst your mighty Etrigan collection on CAF but couldn't find it, would love to see it mate.

Here you go mate. Looks like this one missed getting a proper scan at work. I will have to rectify that and put it on my CAF.

Cheers Wrothy, that's nice!

Shane McCarthy was just announced as a guest at OzCC Perth.

I'm glad they support local creators, but I'm still hoping some 'name' international comics creators will be announced for Perth and Adelaide.

But with a little bit over a month to go, I'm not holding my breath...

Given that Melbourne had Stan Lee, Jason Palmer, Francis Manapul and Agnes Garbowska, and Perth/Adelaide has Palmer and Matt Clark set, I'm not expecting much more, given that it is unlikely that they'll get anyone even close to the same status as Stan and Agnes was pretty much a freebie for bringing Francis over.

Yeah I think you are right Wrothy. I must admit I forgot about Palmer, as I'm not a huge fan of the photo-real movie likeness type stuff.

The first Adelaide OCC just had Freddie Williams, so it seems like one or two international comic guests max is the trend for them.
