“The artwork was created by Sydney artist, Matthew Lin and is now a permanent display in the Adult Graphic Novel section of the library,” she said.
“Its centrepiece is the ‘World Tree’ which supports heaven and earth and is surrounded by characters, heroes and creatures of the comic world. The tree’s overreaching branches and golden vines represent the myriad directions a storyline can take you.”
Mr Lin spent time with Concord Library’s Fantasy and Science Fiction book group to ensure his mural would reflect the collection and inspire a creative and vibrant space for the local community.
Concord Library is hosting a number of Comic Con-versation attractions this year, including the Tween Everyday Heroes workshop where kids can transform themselves into real-life heroes and star in their own comic stories.
Comic enthusiasts of all ages can view the work of local artist Stephen Kok at the Tabby Tails exhibition or try their hand at the communal colouring wall.
Comic Con-versation is an annual Sydney-wide festival, celebrating the best of local comic culture with events, exhibitions and talks at public libraries across Sydney.
