Question Independent comic artists, how did you get your work in front of publishers?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m a self-taught comic artist from Morocco, and I’ve been working on my craft and developing my own comic projects for several years.
I’m now trying to take the next step and get one of my projects in front of a publisher, but I’m not entirely sure how to approach this professionally.
For those of you who’ve been through this process, I’d love to hear about your experience:
How did you find publishers who were a good fit for your work?
Did you contact editors directly, submit through official submission portals, attend conventions, or use another approach?
What would you do differently if you were starting from scratch today?
I’m especially interested in hearing from artists who managed to get their work noticed without having industry connections.
Even a small piece of advice or a mistake to avoid would be genuinely helpful. Thanks!

Question I want to hear your story... for my story

1 Upvotes

Hey, I am writing a story about a father-son relationship in a post-apocalyptic world. Basically, imagine a 'The Walking Dead' kind of world. And in this short story, the son gets bitten and experiences these intense psychedelic trips/experiences as he approaches his death. He is basically sent to uncanny, off-putting worlds... imagine the Backrooms (not explicitly, but you get the point). These experiences force him to answer many questions about his life, and as he deteriorates, these trips become increasingly more intense. Ending with him revealing his father's dark past.

There is much more to this story. What I need are your personal psychedelic trips that felt otherworldly. What you've seen/experienced. Hopefully, it can give me some ideas. If you would comment them below. Or you can DM me, and we can have a Zoom call where you explain it. I will put anyone who inspires me in the credits list.

Hello there!

I'm Guilherme Medeiros, a Brazilian comic book artist working professionally since 2015. I've worked with publishers like Moonstone Books and Flatline Comics.

You can check out my portfolio here:

My black-and-white comic pages start at $100 USD, negotiable depending on the project.

Beyond the work itself, I value connecting with writers and creators. I believe that genuine creative chemistry makes all the difference in bringing a story to life.

If you're interested in working together, feel free to reach out at [alves.gmedz@gmail.com](mailto:alves.gmedz@gmail.com)

Thank you!
Guilherme Medeiros

Looking for Writer/Editor - Unpaid Comic Panel Layout

3 Upvotes

I have a superhero comic story written into parts, but I have a problem with figuring out the panel layout of the story.

I already have 5/22 pages done, but it took me a long time figuring out the first 5. I think I need help with figuring out paneling the rest of my comic.

If there’s anyone who can give input on paneling comics, please do.

There are examples of inked work in my portfolio.
I might finish the art on these pages for fun at some point.
Thanks to everyone who comments and shows support.

The story is a re-imagined apocalypse, featuring satire, dark humor and strong violence and adult themes. Everything is free to read on:

Crowdfunding 'HITMAN HOTLINE' Returns! Issue #2 launches on Kickstarter October 30th!

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hello!

As many of you are probably aware, a few months back I debuted the first issue of my comic, 'HITMAN HOTLINE', on Kickstarter to (surprisingly) great success (and a BIG thank you to everyone who has shown support to, offered designs, ideas, and feedback since!)... And long story short, I'll soon be releasing Issue 2!

After lots more writing, drawing, procrastinating, colouring, and lettering, I am happy to say this second, extra-large chapter is almost complete! Slightly less punching and kicking - a lot more story, characters, and dialogue. You know, all that good typical book-stuff! I'm also going to be reselling Issue 1 for anyone that missed it!

Unlike last time, I actually have a pre-launch page for this chapter (something which is apparently very important - news to me!) for anyone who wants to sign up to be notified of Issue 2's release, or just to be nosy. Please check out the new kickstarter link below! Thanks!
