The cat’s, or should we say, the dog’s out of the bag, as Supanova Comic Con & Gaming announces its latest Supa-Star guests for Supanova 2021 – Gold Coast (April 17 & 18) and Melbourne (May 22 & 23).

That’s right, Supa-Fans; Joe Brumm, creator of the animation sensation, Bluey, is headed to the Gold Coast and Melbourne! Appearing on the Sunday only of each event, Brumm will take fans behind the scenes of Australia’s most beloved children’s series, which has received accolades both at home and abroad, winning big at the Logies, International Emmy Kids Awards and more.

And where would Bluey’s titular heroine be without her loving Dad? Joining the series’ creator in both cities is David McCormack a.k.a. the voice of Bandit! McCormack is no stranger to the stage as the frontman for the ARIA Music Award-winning band, Custard, and has lent his musical talents as the composer for critically acclaimed series including Rake and Jack Irish.

Prefer your TV fare a little darker? Look no further than these Gold Coast exclusive; returning Supa-Star, Todd Lasance, who first came to prominence as Julius Caesar in Spartacus, has featured in fan-favourite series The Flash and The Vampire Diaries. He now stars alongside Michael B. Jordan in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, scheduled for release at the end of this month; and making her Supanova debut is, Arielle Carver-O’Neill, best known for her portrayal of Brandy in the hit series, Ash vs Evil Dead.
