Comics on Stateline

With The Wheeler Centre focussing on comics and graphic novels ABC1's Stateline thought they educate the public on "graphic novels". Not a bad quick rip through it for a broad audience and all Aust people doing the talking!

Not sure how long it'll be up at the site as they don't ssem to put Stateline on iView.

Dylan Horrocks on TheComicSpot.

Dylan Horrocks is in Melbourne for a while attending the Supanova convention, leading a graphic novel masterclass during this week at The Wheeler Centre and finally attending the centre's focus on Graphic novels this weekend, 23-25 April..

Dyaln has just released a new edition of his fantastic book Hicksville and is serialising a number of works on his website. He will join myself, Bernard and Jo in the studios at 3CR to talk about his comics lifestyle and comics in the land of the long white cloud.

I'm really looking forward to finally meeting one of the most respected and well liked artists working in comics today.

Listen live on 3CR.ORG.AU or on 855am in Melbourne.

The program will be podcasted through the DIYArts podcast on iTunes and placed in TheComicSpot archives some time after that.
