Call for submissions: Hellbound

Cringe in terror of Hellbound, a new Boston Comics Roundtable horror anthology!

The Hellbound team is seeking New England comics creators to create single-page horror stories based on true or legendary New England murders, urban legends, and creepy tales. The anthology will span 24 total stories/pages.

15-25 special screenprinted handbound editions of the anthology with a glow-in-the-dark cover will be produced in fall 2010; profits will go towards funding the first full print run.

Submission deadline: April 1, 2010 (participants to be notified on May 1)

Guidelines: Artwork colors limited to black and red (no grays please). The anthology will be printed at tabloid/Wednesday Comics size of 14″x20″ (but may be reduced in size for future print runs). Please submit finished stories as Photoshop PSD documents with colors separated in layers (e.g. black on one, red on another) and with all text flattened.

Questions? For more information, contact joelchristiangill @ mac.com, or keep an eye on the Hellbound blog for further details about the anthology and related events.
