Local talent on show at Oz Comic-Con

Australia's heroes of the comic book scene will rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in the industry as they assemble for Oz Comic-Con this weekend.

International guests will include Scott Allie, Editor-In-Chief of Dark Horse (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Planet of the Apes), and artist Georges Jeanty, who has pencilled through a number of DC and Marvel's superhero comics.

From our very own shores comes Stewart McKenny (Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, DC's Super Friends) and Wolfgang Bylsma, Editor-in-Chief for Australia's leading independent graphic novel publishing house, Gestalt.

Hidden amongst the line-up are also local gems like Paul Abtruse, drawer of ten covers of the cult comic My Little Pony, and Mark Sexton, who most recently created storyboards and concept designs for Mad Max: Fury Road.

Of course Oz Comic-Con isn't just for the boys with celebrated DC artist Nicola Scott and Dark Heavens trilogy author Kylie Chan also on board.
