ComX-Wiki:About

The ComX.Net.Au Project came online March 2020 as a non-profit site, with the goal of becoming the largest online database pertaining Australian indie comic books. This site, aka ComX, is the creation of Shane Syddall, the owner of ComX.net.au and an avid proponent of the Australian comic book industry, together with help from lead moderator Jerome Castro. Our goal as a wiki is to detail, note, record, and connect people to the Australian comic book scene not only now but those from decades ago.

The Australian comic book industry was a thriving community of fans and creators over the decades and still grows to this day. This wiki would act as a crowdsourced record that is accessible to anyone and everyone.

Thanks to the open source software, provided by the MediaWiki foundation, we are able to extend support of this reference to the Australian comics database.

The Database uses the comic book submissions of authors, fans, and other sources as its primary source of information. Our long-term goal is to provide as accurate as possible information to everyone and we are looking towards a future where the community itself finds time to expand on entries and edit them with accuracy.
