    Actually Australia has a vibrant comic industry... Lots of homegrown indy comics. And they're good too. So whoever told you they don't make their own comics was wrong. Don't know about New Zealand, but I'd be really surprised if they don't make their own comics too. Surely in a country with millions there's some aspiring comic writers and artists.


Yeah. There might of been the Indy comics but I didn't see any of them. I did go a lot of News Agents (I think that's what it was called. it's a store that sold books & magazines). I saw a lot of magazines for sale but not a lot of comics. What I did see when were comics featuring The Phantom (which were made by an American company) & a Australian repackaging of the American "The Simpsons" comics. There were also some Spongebob Squarepants comics from time to time. If the News Agents only sold 1 comic book it was going to be the Phantom comic books (which I started to joking called Australia's national comic book). I did go to a handful of Comic Book Stores & everything that I saw there was all American comics for sale.

I would have liked to find some Australian comics but in my search for them I didn't find any. But I didn't come home with a bunch of comics to add to my collection so it wasn't a complete failure.

    But anyway glad you had fun.


Yeah. I'd go back again sometime. Most to New Zealand, we didn't spend enough time there so I don't I got to see the country fully.
