'''''Tango''''' was a [comics anthology](/source/comics_anthology) published in Melbourne, Australia by [Cardigan Comics](/source/Cardigan_Comics), with nine issues of ''Tango'', published intermittently from 1997 to 2009, and an additional compilation ''[https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/fiction/graphic-novels/The-Tango-Collection-Edited-by-Bernard-Caleo-9781742371436n The Tango Collection]'', published in 2009 by [Allen & Unwin](/source/Allen_%26_Unwin).

==Overview==
''Tango'' is described as "the Australian romance comics anthology".<ref name="cardigancomics.com">{{Cite web |url=http://www.cardigancomics.com/index.php/tango.html |title=Tango |access-date=26 September 2009 |archive-date=1 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091101061206/http://www.cardigancomics.com/index.php/tango.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>  Each issue features contributions by comic artists living and working in Melbourne and other parts of Australia and New Zealand.<ref name="anislandart.blogspot.com">{{Cite web|url=https://anislandart.blogspot.com/2009/06/tango9-love-and-war.html|title = An island art: Tango9: Love and War|date = 4 June 2009}}</ref>  The first three issues of ''Tango'' were large format publications, inspired by large format anthologies from the United States such as the early issues of [''RAW''](/source/Raw_(comics_magazine)).<ref>http://www.cardigancomics.com/images/cardigan/downlods/romance-comics.pdf (p. 5)</ref>  Later issues became smaller in format, and beginning with the fourth issue in 2001 (''Tango Quatro''), each has been sub-titled with a theme of "Love and ...".  Respectively, the themes for issues four through nine have been: 'Love and Death', 'Love and the Senses', 'Love and Sex', 'Love and Sedition' 'Love and Food', and 'Love and War'.  Drawing on contributions from the first eight issues of ''Tango'', [Allen and Unwin](/source/Allen_and_Unwin) published ''The Tango Collection'' in 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an44241488|title = Trove}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hackpacker.blogspot.com/2009/09/tango-collection-plus.html|title = Tango Collection Plus}}</ref> In 2017-2018 the State Library of Victoria featured 'Tango' in its ongoing exhibition about the history of the book, '[https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/whats-on/tango-giant-romance-comic-anthology The Mirror of the World]'.

==The Creator of ''Tango''==
[Bernard Caleo](/source/Bernard_Caleo) was the creator and editor of ''Tango'', as well as being a contributor to each issue.  Caleo is also a performer, speaker, interviewer, blogger and general promoter of comics and comic talent in Melbourne and more broadly in Australia and New Zealand.

==Origins==
Spurred by the disappearance of an earlier Australian comic anthology, [Fox Comics](/source/Fox_Comics_(Australia)), Caleo wanted to provide a vehicle for both experienced and new comic artists to demonstrate and develop their talents.<ref>http://www.cardigancomics.com/images/cardigan/downlods/romance-comics.pdf (p. 3)</ref>  The chosen theme of romance is intended to evoke associations with both love and adventure.<ref name="anislandart.blogspot.com"/><ref>http://www.cardigancomics.com/images/cardigan/downlods/romance-comics.pdf (p. 4)</ref>

==Issues==
There were nine issues of ''Tango'', with the last issue ''Tango 9: Love and War'' published in December 2009.
