IPI Comics views San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) as the Mecca of comic industry events, and our attendance last month was no exception. Panels, retailer pitches, business meetings, meeting old friends and business acquaintances/partners, all made this an invaluable experience for the small team from Australia (and California/Texas).

We thank Creative Australia for providing an extremely helpful Grant to assist us with our journey to San Diego Comic-Con 2026.
