Concrete Playground

Do you like comics? How about pies? And surely you must like fun right? How can one combine these likes into an event I hear you ask? Ashcan Comics are way ahead of you. The Queensland based collaborative bring together super talented comic artists and writers, give them the opportunity to have their work published in print, then have a massive party to celebrate! This Saturday marks the launch of Ashcan Comics 4th Issue, being held at Pie Face in the Brisbane City. The $10 entry fee includes a copy of Ashcan #4 as well entertainment such as speed painting and DJs.

Usually a term reserved for comics destined to go straight from printer to trashcan, Ashcan comics are passionate about getting their self-published independent comics to the masses, strengthening the Brisbane comic community in the process. Although the party doesn’t kick off until 7.30pm, head over to The Edge at South Bank where the Ashcan team will be running mini comic workshops throughout the day from 1pm. All events are for all ages, so come support local talent, embrace your inner nerd and learn a few tricks of the trade in the process!
