Australian Comics Database Presented by the Comic Arts Awards of Australia
04.04.2023 UPDATE:
Site admins are currently uploading the submitted entries for the 2022 calendar year. Once that has been done, the site will open up to accept new user registrations and allow users to upload their projects themselves (see below).
Welcome to the Australian Comics Database!
This site strives to do two things.
Firstly, as of May 2023, it serves as the “Call for Entries” for submissions to the annual Comic Arts Awards of Australia. The Judging Panel will use this site to access information about newly produced Australian comic projects in the given calendar year.
Secondly, 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 1600 entries… and growing every week.

Submitting comics to this database
-
-
- Register. It’s free.
- 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).
- Go to Submit A Project, but before you do, keep on reading about what you’ll need…
