Entry Deadline: March 15th
It’s time to mark your calendars! Even though we ran our “final” issue of Premier Pulp Comics last year, who says there can’t be more issues? We’re planning to develop at least two issues for 2014. The May 2014 issue’s entry deadline will be March 15th.
In the past we wanted to try and rebrand the magazine with a name that more accurately reflected the indie nature of the comics, but at the moment we’re going to stick with the name Premier Pulp Comics. It’s just too annoying for the readers to be constantly announcing changes that never amount to anything.
On that note, we’ve decided to axe our side projects Substance and Premier Horror Comics. Neither side project got a substansial enough amount of submissions, and the staff doesn’t have the time or resources to dedicate themselves to those projects. Perhaps in the future we will try something again, but not at the moment.
If you have any interest in submitting a comic to us, please check our site for more information on the process.

As a reminder, PPC sees the following kind of submissions:
1. Scripts done by a writer that need an artist
2. Comics written and drawn by artists
3. Scripts done by a writer with an artist already teamed up
4. Artists looking to draw a writer’s script
In particular, 1 & 4 are more valuable to us than it may seem. People who come in as a team or want to work on their own comic drop out at around the same rate as those who find partners during the submission process. Meaning, you shouldn’t understimate the potential of a team endeavor.
As a reminder to artists, you only have to work on something you find interesting enough to draw, don’t let anyone try and get you involved in their script in any other way. For writers, you job is not done once your script is in the hands of an artist. Check in with them often so that any questions they have about the script can be immediately resolved.
If you have any questions about the magazine, feel free to send us an email! We’ll be happy to answer them. Until then, there’s comics to be made!
