A bond stronger than time, a love more vast than space, and a will as powerful as the Dreaming; Mungala is a Gooniyandi warrior searching for the child taken from her.

The new Indigiverse series, DREAMWALKER, follows Mungala's journey from the northwest of Western Australia through time, space and beyond.

Written by Scott Wilson and Molly Hunt, with sensational art from Christopher Wood, a Limited Preview edition of DREAMWALKER #0 will be available exclusively from Perth Comic Arts Festival at the State Library of WA this weekend!

A new book from Perth's own Sarah Winifred Searle is *always* cause for celebration, and we're delighted to be publishing A HOME IN HER, launching at the Perth Comic Arts Festival on Sunday 28th July 2024!

"Aoi recently returned from uni in London to regional Western Australia to sort out his parents’ estate. He’s struggling with grief and isolation when meeting Eerie changes everything.

Through strange gifts, surreal shadows, and unsettling late-night conversations, he finds himself feeling at home with an unusual person in an unexpected place."
