• Thank you to everyone who reached out volunteering to join the judging panel of the ALIA Graphic Notable Australian Graphic Novels of 2025.

In this episode we have a chat with two of the key researchers involved in the project. 

The Lead Investigator for the project was Elizabeth MacFarlane, who is a writer and Associate Professor in Creative Writing at the University of Melbourne where she teaches Graphic Narratives and Critical-Creative Writing Practices. 

Gabriel Clark is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Design at the University of Technology Sydney and a creative producer. He was one of the chief investigators in the project.

This conversation is not directly about libraries and comics librarianship, but I think it’s a very valuable conversation about the Australian comics community. We’ve got enormous talent in Australia and I feel like comics by Australian creators often go under the radar. I encourage everyone to visit the Folio website and explore its vast contents.

ALIA Graphic was created as a group five years ago. And right from the start we established contact with the American Library Association’s Graphic Novels and Comics Roundtable. A group that’s been around for longer than us and a group that has achieved a lot since its creation. So we're absolutely delighted to have Amie Wright with us, who was the first president, or first Prime Minister, of the graphic novels and comics roundtable. 

04:57 Amie talks about her PhD, researching comics history and censorship, the stigma around comics and her work teaching of comics and history. 

12:47 Comics librarianship before the Graphic Novels and Comics Roundtable.

25:38 Every library needs a graphic novels champion because comics are important and comics librarianship is gets at the core of a good library service, serving the whole community and their needs. 

28:18 Amie talks about how the library education days at Toronto, San Diego and New York helped make the case to the American Library Association for the creations of the Graphic Novels and Comics Roundtable.

 34:33 Amie talks about what the original goals for the Graphic Novels and Comics Roundtable were when the group was created.

38:00 Iurgi talks about what the goals were when ALIA Graphic was created. To create resources for librarians, the monthly roundups, blog, podcast, creator chats and webinars. The Perth Comic Arts Festival is discussed as a vibrant festival dedicated to comics that has a partnership with the State Library of WA.

41:55 Amie talks about how and why the Toronto Comic Arts Festival is bringing back library education day this year in partnership with Graphic Medicine International Collective, the Graphic Novels and Comics and Roundtable and the Ontario Library Service.

44:43 How comics librarianship has developed since the creation of the GNCRT. 

53:58 Amie talks about the greatest achievements and challenges in comics librarianship.  

01:01:33 What can we do to continue to advocate for and promote comics in libraries.

We have also made a special effort to interview as many Australian comics creators as possible. Our creator chats focus on Australian creators discussing what they love about comics, how they fell in love with the medium and, of course, their comics and graphic novels. A lot of them are on our YouTube channel and all of them are on our podcast feed (because some of them are camera shy and that's totally fair). We never could've imagined it but we are this is the 100th episode of our podcast.

To celebrate this we have received some messages. We want to thank the ALIA National team for their support and we're glad to receive a message from ALIA Deputy CEO Trish Hepworth.

Then, we hear from four awesome Australian creators who have been kind enough to put their pencils down and send us a message. We hear from:

• Sarah Winifred Searle, who tells us about what she loves about libraries and how libraries have helped her as a library creator
• Reimena Yee tells us about what she loves about comics as a story telling medium and how things are changing in the Australian comics scene
• Mat Groom talks about what he loves about the Australian comics community and his love of libraries
• James Foley answered lots of questions and he has a lot to say about making, the Australian comics community and more.

A huge thank you to all four of them for putting their pencils down for a few minutes and sending us a message. A special thanks to Chris Gooch who sent us the art for this episode.

And a heartfelt thank you from everyone in the ALIA Graphic Committee to all creators and guests in the first 100 episodes. We love your work and we thank you for every email with feedback, the creator chats and your support.

This month James and Iurgi discuss the disturbing wave of challenges and bans in the U.S. that have affected a lot of books, graphic novels, libraries, and educators. The bad news is that as distant as this may seem from Australia, the current campaign of challenges is serious and disturbing. The good news is that people and organisations are getting organised and taking action.

The discussion moves to Australian comics. This month we have seen two great podcasts publishing excellent episodes that we highly recommend. A shout out to Graphic Nature Podcast and Hiveminded. 

Another great development is the new Folio: Stories of Contemporary Comics website. An outstanding initiative just recently launched and already publishing excellent content on Australian comics by some big names.

As usual, James and Iurgi pick their favourites from this month's new release titles and they discuss two upcoming events worth checking out for professional development.

The discussion takes us through what the situation is in regards to getting Australian comics and graphic novels at libraries. Comic Con-versation Festival is discussed at length as an example of a comics festival that championed Australian titles and creators with great success and grew from one library to seventeen participating libraries across Sydney.

The second half of our discussion centres what librarians look for when adding comics and graphic novels and how to get your comics to added to library suppliers. Queenie Chan collaborating with Comic Con-versation published CCV Buy Lists of Australian titles the last few years but now she's gone one step further and created an online Australian comics and graphihc novels for libraries database. This is a great initiative that we believe will be very helpful for both libraries and creators and we're very happy to be involved.
