Comic Arts Awards of Australia

Read this first: How this site works

29.09.2025 UPDATE:
Site admins are currently working on the backend of the site to make the ‘uploading of content’ process more user-friendly for everyone. Once that has been done, the site will open up to accept new user registrations and allow users to upload their projects themselves (see directions below).

Welcome to the Australian Comics Database!

As the years roll by and comics projects are added to the database, it will become an historical archive of Australian comics for anyone to access. There are currently over 1800 entries… and growing every week.

This Australian Comics Database was created initially as an initiative of the Comic Arts Awards of Australia Organising Committee. It is currently hosted by Cyclone Comics / Gary Chaloner.

All information on this site is for research/educational use only. No reproduction or copying of scans permitted. All scans are understood to be uploaded by private collectors, or by members of the creative team or publishers/people that have the rights to do so. All rights reserved.

Images used on this site fall under the “Fair Dealing” parameters outlined by The Australian Copyright Council.

Submitting comics to this database

      1. Register. It’s free. (Temporarily disabled. Daniel or Gary can upload content for you.)
      2. Do a Search of the current site to see if the comic you want to enter hasn’t already been added (to avoid duplicate entries).
      3. Go to Submit A Project, but before you do, keep on reading about what you’ll need…

What you’ll need

Once you have registered, and before you submit an entry, you will need:

      • A good quality JPG or PNG of a project’s front cover (no smaller than 600px wide)
      • A good quality JPG or PNG of any variant covers published (no smaller than 600px wide)
      • Details of title, year published, and other essential information
      • A list of contents and contributors for the project
      • A screen optimised PDF of the project

If you have any other questions or suggestions, please drop us a line using the Contact page.
