On Saturday, I had the honor of serving as an official photographer for Oz Comic Con! Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend on Sunday due to prior commitments.
I contributed to the mini pop-up Photo Wall, which was a huge success among the Perth Cosplay Community. It was a busy and incredible weekend, fueled by the excitement of cosplayers eager to get their photos taken!

Comic book vendors from all over Australia flew in for the Perth Oz Comic Con weekend, adding to the event’s vibrant atmosphere. These dedicated vendors brought with them a treasure trove of rare and exclusive comic books, graphic novels, and memorabilia, creating a haven for comic enthusiasts.
From Sydney to Melbourne, Brisbane to Adelaide, vendors showcased a diverse array of collections, providing attendees with the unique opportunity to discover and purchase items that are not typically available in Perth. Their presence not only enriched the event but also highlighted the strong sense of community and passion within the Australian comic book scene. This convergence of vendors from across the country made the Perth Oz Comic Con a truly special and unforgettable experience for all comic book fans.
