DARK OZ is the publisher of DECAY and Retro Sci-Fi Tales - Australian anthology comic books, featuring over 150 creators so far. Every issue is a showcase of the incredible talent Australia has to offer. DECAY is a Mature Readers horror anthology, with 23 issues out so far.

ators and new emerging talents. Many of Australia's top creators have worked on these comics, along with a few international guests too.

WOW - Friday night was INSANE!!! Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
DARK OZ was at the Adelaide Showgrounds for the SPIN OFF Festival - 19-July-2024
The music was fantastic!
My personal favourite band was 'THE LAST DINNER PARTY' - seriously awesome stage performance and music. If you've ever seen the movie 'Streets of Fire' (1984) with Diane Lane as a hot rock chick, that's what this reminded me of.
LOTS of other great acts too: G Flip, Girl in Red, Peach PRC, Conan Gray, Michael Marcagi, Rum Jungle, etc etc etc
The whole day ran from 11am to 11pm, and the crowds just kept building up all day long. Had some good sales for DARK OZ comics too (comics, magazines, posters), while listening to fantastic concerts on stage right in front of the DARK OZ booth. Amazing performers from Australian and around the globe, all here in Adelaide for one day/night only - awesome!!!
Shared the booth with DKarta Studios - big THANKS!!!
Seriously awesome event. If you missed out be sure to keep an eye out for it next year.
Finally getting around to posting the DARK OZ Sunday photos from Metro Comic Con last weekend - 14-July-2024
It was a great day, better than the Sunday of the same show the previous year. Overall a really good weekend.
Thanks to everyone who bought a comic, stopped for photos, and said hello.

This is a seriously AWESOME new horror movie, with genuinely creepy crawly moments, yet also a charming warm vibe - you'll have great fun being scared, ha ha.
An Australian made movie featuring pages of comic book art from DARK OZ - this is history in the making for Australian comic books and movies. Filmed in Sydney while set in New York, with a fantastic cast, lovable characters and well written dialogue, you will love this movie.
- One cold, stormy night in New York City, a mysterious object falls from the sky and smashes through the window of a rundown apartment building. It is an egg, and from this egg emerges a strange little spider…
- The creature is discovered by Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year-old girl obsessed with comic books. Despite her stepfather Ethan’s best efforts to connect with her through their comic book co-creation Fang Girl, Charlotte feels isolated. Her mother and Ethan are distracted by their new baby and are struggling to cope, leaving Charlotte to bond with the spider. Keeping it as a secret pet, she names it Sting.
- As Charlotte's fascination with Sting increases, so does its size. Growing at a monstrous rate, Sting's appetite for blood becomes insatiable. Neighbours’ pets start to go missing, and then the neighbours themselves. Soon Charlotte’s family and the eccentric characters of the building realise that they are all trapped, hunted by a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh... and Charlotte is the only one who knows how to stop it.
Runtime: 91 mins

This horror story is hilarious in its over-the-top approach and dark humour - a tourists guide to the dangers of the outback. Written & lettered by Darren Koziol with art by Dave Dye.

THE EXORCISM
Shot as a movie within a movie, The Exorcism stars Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe as Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who is trying to resuscitate his career when he lands the lead role of a priest in a supernatural horror film about an exorcism.
As unsettling events unfold, his "lucky break" takes a dark turn. The director (Adam Goldberg), aiming for authenticity, subjects the struggling actor to humiliating treatment, forcing him to confront past traumas and accelerating his decline.
Witnessing his suffering, Anthony’s estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) turns to the film's priest advisor (David Hyde Pierce) for help.
Has the pressure of making the film sent Anthony back to his old addictions, or has it opened a portal to something more sinister?
Only in cinemas June 13
