DARK OZ - over 200 creators, artists, writers, designers - a showcase of incredible Australian talent Published by DARK OZ at www.darkoz.com.au.

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. Retro Sci-Fi Tales is a PG rated anthology of sci-fi stories with a nostalgic feel. Both titles are a mix of professional cre

ators and new emerging talents. Many of Australia's top creators have worked on these comics, along with a few international guests too. DECAY often features stories of the sexy Vampire "Sisters" and zombie stories set in the "OZ ZOMBIE" universe. But there are many other horror tales in every genre you can imagine. All stories in DECAY are short self-contained one-off stories, meaning you can enjoy reading any issue alone, while Retro Sci-Fi Tales now has a couple ongoing stories.

DARK OZ comic book anthologies are FULL of stories written by Darren Koziol, and brought to life with amazing illustrations drawn by dozens and dozens of artists.

Friday 8-Aug-2025 - Darren will be pitching a small selection of these stories to Australian movie producers, at MIFF (Melbourne International Film Festival). As the stories are all in comic book format, this means that dozens and dozens of artists will also be getting their work into the hands of Australian movie producers.

It's from attending events like this (in previous years) that DARK OZ comics secured work in the movie 'STING' in 2024, and how we also produced Australia's FIRST EVER Comic Book Movie Adaptations in 2021-2022.

Fingers crossed for a DARK OZ comic to be adapted into a big screen movie one day, and/or for DARK OZ to find more work with the film industry.

Seriously GREAT night last night, for all who braved the weather.

Absolutely LOVED seeing 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' on the BIG screen.
AND seeing the DARK OZ advert, for the Bonfire Horror Club magazine, on the BIG screen too.

Photos of the DARK OZ table here taken just after set-up, before the crowds rolled in. More sales last night, on a 'quiet' night, compared to more hectic/chaotic crowds for busier sessions/movies (when it's sometimes too packed for people to move and browse).

Just wanted to apologise for packing up early (I was out of there by 8:45pm), I totally forgot it was a 9pm movie instead of the regular 8:30pm movies.
I will have the BONFIRE HORROR CLUB Souvenir Cinema Programme available at the next movie - CHILD'S PLAY on Fri 29-Aug - I'll see you all there at the Palace Nova Cinemas - The Bonfire Horror Club presents: Child's Play

Reminder - Friday night 25-July-2025 at 8:30pm - the 1954 B&W classic 'THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON' - playing at the Palace Nova Cinemas, Eastend, Adelaide.

Arrive from 7:50pm to browse the DARK OZ pop-up store in the cinema foyer - along with several other sponsors - we have some very cool things for you to buy.

ALSO the official horror festival cinema programme 'BONFIRE HORROR CLUB' issue #3 is for sale for only $25 - it covers ALL 12 movies of the 2025 season.

Drop by the foyer and the pop-up stalls even if you can't stay for the movie... I'm staying for the movie, it's going to be awesome on the BIG screen!
