City of Melbourne Comic Club

This is an exciting and new project brought to you by the City of Melbourne. In response to the successful comic drawing workshops we hosted earlier this year in the City Library, we are now offering you the opportunity to be part of a Comic Book Club where you get to discuss your favourite comics, engage in English conversations and meet other students.

You will have the opportunity to discuss comics with other students and Bernard Caleo, an establish writer, drawer, publisher, teacher and preacher of comics.

If you would like to attend future sessions listed below, please RSVP to me  at gary.lee@melbourne.vic.gov.au (and the dates you wish to attend) so we can ensure there is space for everyone:
