Viper Comics announces SDCC talent search!

June 26th, 2009
Author David Pepose

Oh, it’s that time of the year again — convention season! Where fans cosplay, publishers make annoucements, and those who think they have the chops to work in comics full-time brush up their portfolios.

Well, if you’re looking to cast a wide net, here’s a publisher to add to your list: Viper Comics, publisher of How to Be a Serial Killer. What’s unique about this? Both artists AND writers can apply!

If you’re an artist, you know the drill: download this script here, and draw the heck out of it! Writers, there’s a bit more rules here: keep your original characters in the drawer, and instead write five comic-pages with an existing comic book character, in comic script format. And for Pete’s sake, make sure you have all your contact information on every page!

Both writers and artists should note that the publisher will only accept one entry per person. If you’re not hitting the convention, you can also e-mail Viper at contest09@vipercomics.com by July 27th!

    David,
    Is there a direct link to the Talent search information, or was it just a press release?

    Weird. Their website’s not been updated since 2007 (it seems) & says they’re taking no submissions . . .

    Well, not really weird. Par for the course, these days . . .

    Methinks I should go for this? What do you guys think:
