Tango 8 – Update
I made a submission to a comic anthology called Tango 8 about two months ago. It was my first attempt at getting published and my first at creating a story in the “comic” medium. Full details of the process to create the story is here.
Received this acknowledgment late last week :
“I ‘m happy to say that your submission was accepted, and it’s being assembled into the book as we speak.
We are heading for/hoping for a launch on Wed 10 December.
Will let you and the other makers know more when things are confirmed.”
I’m ecstatic! I can’t wait till December when I will receive my copy of the anthology. It’ll be a great feeling to check out how the final printed product looks on paper. It’s gotten me excited to work on my next submission.

SPECIAL LAUNCH PRICE $20
Tango8: Love and Food, the eighth issue of bumper Australian romance comics anthology Tango, will be launched in style by Melbourne food legend Dur-e Dara at the brand new bar Mr Wilkinson, 295 Lygon St, East Brunswick, on Wednesday December 17 at 7pm. Entry is free.
At 242 pages, this rollercoaster ride through the wealth of comic book talent in Australasia includes new work from talented graphic novelists Nicki Greenberg (The Great Gatsby, Allen & Unwin), Bruce Mutard (The Sacrifice, also Allen & Unwin) and Mandy Ord (Rooftops, published by Finlay Lloyd) plus two brilliant cartoonists from The Age, Andrew Weldon and Oslo Davis. These vary from 1 to 18 pages in length, exploring the theme of ‘love and food’ in hilarious, romantic, creepy, nostalgic and heartfelt ways. A great gift for foodies, comic lovers and those hard-to-buy-for teens, twenties and thirty-somethings – as well as the baby boomers who learned to read from Marvel and Zap!

GRAH! This launch was last night and I missed it!
Congratulations on being published, Stephen! That’s your first step on the road to stardom. :) It certainly makes it easier to break into the biz now that you’ve got something published to show to the pros.
Keep working hard at it and I can’t wait to check out your submission!
