Bruce Mutard is one of the biggest names when it comes to comics in Australia. He has published lots of short comics and a few graphic novels. He was also involved with the Perth Comic Arts Festival and now he’s in charge of Australia’s most important comic art awards.

In this chat we talk about: 

• Bruce's influences
• What inspires to make comics
• His thesis on comics and
• The new Ledger Awards for excellence in Australian comics under his stewardship, which are transitioning and will be renamed the Comic Arts of Australia Awards.
