[Free Comic Books Day]

Hi folks,

to celebrate Free Comic Books Day, for a limited time you can now buy all three issues of 100% Biodegradable for the price of one ($0.99, which is around 60p).  So if you're hoping to submit a strip and want to give the comic a look first, now's a good time to do so.

We've had lots of fantastic submissions so far, from newcomers and pros alike.  There's even a few rather splendid 2000ad creators, such as Jim Alexander, Jon Haward and Graeme Neil Reid who'll be showing off some of their classic strips soon.

If you're an artist who's interested in getting involved but doesn't have much time on his/her hands, then I have plenty of one page scripts in need of talented artists.  As well as appearing inside Biodegradable, these one pagers will be put out as a collection, and also submitted to various other anthologies.  So it's a good chance to build up your credits.

Please send enquiries/art samples/finished strips to biomekazoik[at]gmail.com

Thanks for your time, and go run wild in your local comic book store!

Hi there,

just to clarify a few things, we are interested in both colour and black and white strips though colour is always preferable (we're hoping to put at least one colour strip in each issue). 

We'd prefer finished strips as it's less time consuming than trying to match up writers with artists;  that being said, if you're a writer without an artist and your script grabs out attention we'll try our best to find someone suitable to illustrate it. 

If you're a talented artist without a writer and you're interested in getting involved I have several of my own scripts which need illustrating, and there's bound to be a few more scripts that get submitted by other writers.

So far we've accepted one script (which is now in the hands of the talented Dave Thomson), and three other creators completed strips.  We'll be putting a minimum of 6 bi-monthly issues out (with more to follow if the comic proves successful enough) so there's plenty of room for more material.

At this stage payment is only in Digital Contributors Copies, though if the comic turns a large enough profit we'll see what we can do.

To all who have submitted something so far, it's very much appreciated.  Pictsy, I eagerly await viewing you and Mr McNasty's strips in the new year.

Well, I'm always entertained by 'Ghastly' Tim's stories, and judging by Pictsys Deviant Art page that's one damned fine artist right there.  So we should be in for an interesting submission, which myself and John look forward to reading.

We've had a few good submissions so far, and since Biodegradable is bi-monthly there's always room for more.  Keep 'em coming, folks!  - Dave Hailwood (editor of 100% Biodegradable).
