Viper Comics is Looking for a Brand New Webcomic

September 19, 2006 – Viper Comics has announced they will now be accepting open submissions for a webcomic to join the company’s existing strips You’ll Have That and The Horrible Pirates.

“Viper is always on the lookout for the newest talent in comics and hopefully this opportunity will allow us to showcase a great unknown to a world-wide audience,” said Viper President Jessie Garza.

Creators will need to provide sample pages/strips of their webcomic (with finished art) and a full pitch regarding the characters and content. Only submissions from complete creative teams will be accepted. All submissions should be sent to info@vipercomics.com .

The chosen webcomic will launch on the Viper Comics website alongside Viper’s You’ll Have That by Wes Molebash and The Horrible Pirates by Patrick Bussey.

You’ll Have That is a comic-strip about a young married couple updated every weekday. It has received one print collection with a second due in December.

The Horrible Pirates launched in late 2005 and has since been thrilling readers with the adventures of the world’s nastiest pirate crew and their evil monkey rivals. A print collection of the weekly comic is expected for 2007.

Wapsi Square is on my top ten favorite webcomic. Plus Paul Taylor and his family are living in Minnesota so they get extra points with me. Paul’s family can use a little help right now and at the same time you can get your hands on some great art. If nothing else please take a moment to look over what’s up for auction and pass the word.

Thank You

Taken from the Blank Lable News and repeted here to help get the word out:

Blank Label Comics is announcing a fund-raiser for BLC member Paul Taylor. Paul’s first child was born a month prematurely on Aug. 18, and he has required an extended hospital stay. Paul and his wife have been through quite an ordeal — which continues to this day.

Extended hospital stays turn into extended hospital bills, so we’d like to help our friend. Several BLC members and friends are auctioning off original art and other amazing items over the next two weeks. The money made from these auctions will be donated directly to Paul Taylor and his family.

A full list of auction items appears below. All list items will be linked to the auctions as they go live. Some items may be added to the list as the next two weeks progress, so check back often.

Finally, if you’re not interested in an auction item but would still like to help, feel free to go to http://www.wapsisquare.com and make a donation directly to Paul through his PayPal donation button which appears under the comic on the left-hand side of the screen (look for Monica wearing a “SUPPORT WAPSI” T-shirt.
