AVA Gallery presented a wide range of comic art to the public as part of its annual program of fixed- anchor, in-house curated projects. Six South African and two international comic artists were invited to create original comic panels for the production of a limited-edition portfolio book, in partnership with Strauss & Co and Orms Print Room. The book features one story, illustrated in an ‘exquisite corpse’ fashion, whereby the direction of the story was determined by artists seeing only the artwork that preceded theirs. Original panels were exhibited alongside an array of works by comic artists from around the country in two exhibitions: Com!cs and Under 18s Only , that ran from 21 June to 29 July 2018.
