This year's line-up of special guests reflected a similar fascination with pop-culture figures, and it largely echewed the well-known comic book writers and artists who are now relegated to appearances at the C2E2 convention each spring. However, with the convention floor more packed than ever and lines for guest panels snaking through the halls, it's clear that there's a rather large audience for what Wizard World offers.

AustraliaWatch: It's not just Robert Crumb.

He knew one thing – he had to have Seekae for Silent Comics, an event that pairs live music with classic textless comics. Seekae will provide the score to Australian Nathan Jurevicius's cult comic Scarygirl – about a girl washed up on a deserted peninsula who is determined to find the man behind her haunting dreams.

With seven diverse musical outfits scoring the wordless comics over the course of the August 21 event, Verzar says Silent Comics is more like "a festival within a festival". "It's for any fans of the bands, fans of the comics or fans of the comic artists," he says. "If you're interested in comics and like music, this is an easy entry point. If music and graphic art appeals, you'll find this fascinating."

Verzar's long-time collaborator, percussionist Ben Walsh (who scored Shaun Tan's The Arrival at last year's Graphic festival) will open the event together with saxophonist Matthew Ottignon. They will score work from American cartoonist Peter Kuper – famed for continuing the Mad magazine comic strip Spy vs Spy since 1997.

This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.
