Watchmen Lecture

watchmenThe nice guys at Quality Comics in Perth are hosting speaker Jeffery Smith as he throws out some insights into the glory that is Watchmen. If you’re curious after seeing the film, or want to know what all the fuss is about, head down to Quality on 872 Hay St, Perth on Monday April 13 at 5pm (yes, it’s a public holiday, but they’re allowed to be open-so there!) The official lowdown is below.

Fresh off the back of an Australian tour supporting aussie musician Darren Hanlon, anti-folk stalwart Jefferey Smith shows off his talents as an acclaimed Graphic Novel scholar by presenting a free Watchmen lecture at Quality Comics on the April 13.

If you’ve read the book and seen the film, but are still craving more of Alan Moore’s critically acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen, join Jefferey as he examines the alternate history of Watchmen.

Jefferey will be bringing his lecture to only five locations in Australia, not the least of those being Quality Comics, Perth’s oldest and most comprehensive comic book store. 

Starting at 5pm on the 13th April 2009 you can join Keith and the guys of Quality Comics as Jefferey shares what seperates the book from other lesser graphic fiction.

The Return of Quality

dsc04691Just before Christmas, I posted that one of my fave comic shops was closing down, due to an increase in rent, and a disinterest in the then owners. However, it’s now back. It’s heroic return was always up in the air, as a few interested parties put up their hands.

Displaying a “Under New Management” sign, Keith, a Quality Comics employee for about 2 years has now taken it over with a mate of his, and a few of the old employees are still there. This is good news. They have prime real estate in the centre of Perth on a very busy street. However, most people don’t know they exist, due to lack of advertising and a downstairs location. Keith knows what went wrong and knows what must be done. Sure, they’ve lost a few customers in the interim, but I recommend popping back in if you used to frequent there, or would like to see some impressive stock. Saying that, new stock is trickling in, and will come into full effect next month. They’re at 872 Hay Street, Perth, BTW. Check them out. They have something for everyone really.
