Splank! Submission Guidelines

SPLANK! SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Splank! is a hardcopy magazine printed on good quality stock featuring comic strips inspired by, or in the spirit of, the British comics of old.  It features a mixture of genres from humour to adventure and will hark back to my memories of the comics I read throughout my childhood. 

Splank! is printed at A4 (210 x 297), so any artwork supplied should be, roughly, in those proportions.  Artwork may be resized slightly to fit if necessary.   If your strip is intended to be printed full page, without a border, please allow a minimum of a 3mm bleed on all sides and let me know in advance.

 would ask potential contributors to have read these submission guidelines carefully and know the type of material I am looking for.  Ideally you should have read the first issue and the Cthulhu Kids comic to see the type of material I enjoy.  That being said I am open to anything new, so long as it fits with the spirit of Splank!  I love to be surprised.

 I will look at completed strips, early ideas or proposals, scripts, or art samples and will talk to anyone about any ideas they have that seem to tie in with my plans.

Writers 
May send complete scripts, outlines. I prefer Microsoft Word for text documents as long story ideas in e-mail format are awkward as the formatting never seems to survive the settings on my e-mail.

Artists 
Send me samples of your work and I’ll try to match you up with a suitable writing partner.  Please make sure the samples are in the genre and style you prefer to work in and it is important to send sequential art rather than pin-ups or single images, I want to know if you can draw comics.

If you are one of those people who can write and draw then firstly, I hate you, but I’ll swallow that envy back and look at anything you want to send me.
 

Strips may be anything up to five pages, anything longer than that, please have a word with me first.  Half or quarter page gag strips are also welcome and while I’m also interested in newspaper style 3-4 panel strips, I can only use a very small number of them.

Stories are accepted from anyone, from seasoned professionals to keen youngsters.  And it's the spirit of the old comics I'm after, not the style or the content.
