DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK 2 for 1 ticket giveaway!








From the fantastic mind of Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) comes Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, a creepy, spine-tingling story, set modern day but playing up fears from gothic childhood fairytales - that demons, evil fairies, gnomes and ghouls lurk just outside our range of vision, and we'd better watch out. Sally Hurst (Bailee Madison), a lonely, withdrawn child moves in with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) as they restore the Gothic estate, the sprawling Blackwood Manor. Sally discovers a hidden basement, undisturbed since the strange disappearance of the mansion’s owner a century ago. Voices draw Sally in and she unwittingly opens a gateway into a hellish underworld from which an army of ancient, dark-dwelling creatures emerge – small in size but endless in number. As they conspire to drag her down into the macabre mansion’s bottomless depths, Sally tries to warn everyone it's not make-believe – before the evil lurking in the dark consumes them all. 



Sounds good, right? Well thanks to the extremely wonderful folks from Hopscotch Films we have 40 Two for One passes to giveaway to Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark.

To go into the draw to win is sooooo easy, it hurts. Simply tell us what exactly makes you afraid of the dark. 
And for those of you a little more creative, why not draw us what scares you in the dark. The 10 drawn entries with the most "likes" by the end of the contest will win a pass.
All written entries will go into the All Star Barrel and will be drawn at random Thursday the 3rd of November at 7pm.

All tickets must be picked up from the store. Sorry folks, no mail outs on this one.


Have some fun with this but remember to keep the entries fairly PG. 

Again many thanks to the fine folks from Hopscotch Films and be sure to check out Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark from the 3rd of November.

All Star Universe Presents ALL STAR LEGENDS

Ever wanted to get into that acclaimed comic series you've read so much on or heard your local comicbook shop folk rabbiting on about but can't justify that first trade purcahse? Maybe you're looking to get a gift for a friend to introduce them to the wonderful world of comics with some of the best titles around and don't want to fork out too much cash. Well we hope we can help by presenting to you ALL STAR LEGENDS.

Basically, we are going to have the first volume of a celebrated series available for 30 days (or until stock sells out) at a discounted price. Our hope here being that this makes it even easier for you to try a new series, update your comic to trade collection or find that certain something for someone special. This is a little something we have been sitting on for awhile and it pleases us to no end to open this initiative with our first legend 100 Bullets: First Shot Last Call! 

With the recent release of the 100 Bullets Hardcover, the upcoming release of the next Azzarello and Risso team-up, Spaceman and our general love for this series, we couldn't think of a book more deserving to start things off with.

The idea is simple, as previously stated, the month's ALL STAR LEGEND will be available for 30 days (or until stock sells out) at the discounted price. As this will be a limited stock promotion there is strictly "no holds" on the legend,  first in, best read! No further discount applies to the book as it's a pretty good chance it will already be cheaper than the US cover price! The discount also only applies to the volume listed, not the entire series of trades.

If you have any questions, you know where to ask them. You can start to buy the first Legend from this Thursday the 20th of October.

All Star Legends. The legendary titles of the highest recommendation.

Cheers, The All Star Crew.

Another week of new comics is here and as usual, it looks like it could be a big one. This is mostly due to the fact that Marvel are finally wrapping up their Fear Itself event.

Remember, if there is anything you'd like put in a nice white paper back with your name on it, let us know through a communication form.

The Thing Double Pass Giveaway!


Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman.

In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film of the same name. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, the thriller is produced by Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman (Dawn of the Dead).

That's right...you know right time it is!

Thanks to the wonderful folks from Universal Pictures Australia, we are giving you the chance to re-visit the timeless sci-fi classic in its most recent form....The Thing. To win 1 of 5 in-season double passes just answer the following: What movie would be greatly improved if a character from John Carpenter played by Kurt Russell was included in the cast. Just tell us which film, character and why on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments below and you will go into the draw. Winners will be drawn from the All Star Barrel 7pm Thursday the 13th of October.

Again thanks to Universal Pictures Australia and The Thing, in cinemas from the 13th of October.

Here at All Star we've had great success with some great locally produced books that we've been more than happy to stock in our first 8 months. A combination of excellent production value and brilliant storytelling from publishers such as Gestalt Publishing has doesn't hurt though in selling this work. So it is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the Gestalt Book Launch Extravaganza!

On offer will be The Deep, The Eldritch Kid: Whiskey and Hate, Torn and Digested issue 5. If that wasn't enough though, to get you excited an amazing line up of talent will be in store ready to sign and chat about their work to you including: 

  • Tom Taylor and James Brouwer of The Deep
  • Christian Read of The Eldritch Kid
  • Andrew Constant of Torn
  • Bobby.N of Digested
  • Colin Wilson of The Example
  • Emily K. Smith of Unmasked
  • Gestalt editor and chief, Wolfgang Bylsma.

This is going to be a fantastic gathering of Australian talent and we hope you can all make it along.

Comics For Wednesday 12th October!


It's the second week of October which means...well I don't know really, comics I guess. Actually, the boys couldn't be more excited about the first volume of a certain Vertigo series being collected into a large hard cover. There is always something to look forward to for everyone and should something catch your eye that you haven't previously put down then let us know and we'll put it aside for you.

RED STATE Two for one pass giveaway!


The 10th film from writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks 2, Zack & Miri Make a Porno), RED STATE unfolds in a small town dominated by a fundamentalist preacher, Abin Cooper. It tells the story of three high school boys who, on their way to an internet arranged meeting with a woman, end up crossing paths with Cooper. The encounter sets into motion a series of events that causes all hell to break loose. A horror thriller that could only come from the imagination of Smith, RED STATE stars Tarantino and Rodriguez favourite Michael Parks (From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2), Oscar® winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter, Frozen River) and John Goodman (O Brother, Where Are Thou, Barton Fink), Michael Angarano, Kyle Gallner and Nicholas Braun.

Thanks to the generous folks from Curious Film , we have 6 TWO for ONE in-season passes up for grabs.
Now to go into the draw to win yourself a pass we've decided to go a little meta on you.
Because of the inflammatory nature of most Kevin Smith films and especially this film, we are struggling to come up with just the right question for this giveaway. So we want YOU... to tell US... what the question for this giveaway should be.

All QUESTIONS will go into ASC barrel and the winners will be drawn Monday the 10th of October at 6pm.

Thanks again to Curious Film and RED STATE from Kevin Smith, in select cinemas from October 13.

October already and it is increasingly hard to believe that in just two days we will be 8 months old. With September behind us, so are all those DC number ones...well technically they are, we'll be getting second printings of some of the harder to find titles in stock when we can, until then, enjoy some issue 2s. You know the deal with getting holds by now, just let us know if you see something you want.
