It's the time of the year when we at <a href="http://www.backfromthedepths.co.uk/"><strong>Back From The Depths</strong></a> are once again looking for contributors for our freaky free annual pdf horror comic, <strong>HALLOWSCREAM</strong>, so here are the submission guidelines...<br />
<br />
Submissions should be horror orientated and must be weird or spooky to make the final cut.<br />
<br />
We are mainly looking for completed comic strips between 1-7 pages in length. Anything already completed is far more likely to make it into the comic.<br />
<br />
Script submissions should also preferably be around 1-7 pages in length.<br />
<br />
Eerie illustrations and artwork along with interesting horror/comic articles, scary short stories, petrifying poems or anything just plain creepy will also be considered.<br />
<br />
To get an idea of the sort of stuff we're after, you can <strong><a href="http://www.backfromthedepths.co.uk/hallowscream/" target="_blank">download previous issues of Hallowscream here.</a></strong><br />
<br />
If you're looking to illustrate something, get in contact and we'll give you details of available scripts to see if anything suits your fancy.<br />
<br />
We'll also consider material previously published elsewhere, as long as the contributors own the copyright.<br />
<br />
Completed artwork can be either colour or black and white, and should preferably be <strong>A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) 300 dpi jpeg or png</strong>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Submissions can be sent to <strong>merjeagles@yahoo.co.uk</strong> or <strong>ghastlymcnasty@backfromthedepths.co.uk</strong><br />
<br />
As this is a non-profit, small press publication, contributors will not be paid but they will retain copyright on any material submitted.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0Yf_l0ID3iEwZ3UapErb-N_EabYh0z8Xo_FkV-irhqWEju6wQSYMj9om7hrDt12wTzV90BLKCIPywaLNeCYgoOx3xScpZVp0arfmclRkN8okp7hQa6ot2clSk1tL6XI-USFMZ00k-VlArB1cik98xAVjbxQo9R2i-11KrNsOM60q5eFfE1AJZBgD/s1162/Omnibus%20of%20Horror.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="1162" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0Yf_l0ID3iEwZ3UapErb-N_EabYh0z8Xo_FkV-irhqWEju6wQSYMj9om7hrDt12wTzV90BLKCIPywaLNeCYgoOx3xScpZVp0arfmclRkN8okp7hQa6ot2clSk1tL6XI-USFMZ00k-VlArB1cik98xAVjbxQo9R2i-11KrNsOM60q5eFfE1AJZBgD/w400-h323/Omnibus%20of%20Horror.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div><br />

The clueless duo believe that they've purchased a bargain, having obtained the system for a fraction of the recommended retail price from a mysterious figure on the street. Little do they know that the game is actually a <b>trap</b> devised by an evil, self proclaimed cyborg tech-genius known as <b>Noel Skum</b>.<br /><br /> Having slowly become more and more <b>roboticised</b> while also becoming increasingly involved in a number of dodgy dealings and nefarious schemes, Noel believes it is only a matter of time before he ends up on Sam Slade's bounty-hunting radar and has decided to pre-empt such an eventuality.<br /><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0zBonl6TrojtpMNFowxPmb5qCg9lpzqPpSwJ7gYsp6ibvhheYOHppJo3MA0rQGya9sqjSGjNM17CKEU4PxpkNRfeHB7hAUxUVB4IlkZCnq69VvRavTLI7_VjptrPtTRnvZyAjfBViY9h5jer2fzy5VTsYUuQu2YXKLTELpcdp0padtZM2l6Cl5nND/s834/Sam%20Slade%20inlay.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="827" data-original-width="834" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0zBonl6TrojtpMNFowxPmb5qCg9lpzqPpSwJ7gYsp6ibvhheYOHppJo3MA0rQGya9sqjSGjNM17CKEU4PxpkNRfeHB7hAUxUVB4IlkZCnq69VvRavTLI7_VjptrPtTRnvZyAjfBViY9h5jer2fzy5VTsYUuQu2YXKLTELpcdp0padtZM2l6Cl5nND/w400-h396/Sam%20Slade%20inlay.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"> When Sam puts on the VR headset he immediately becomes <b>trapped</b> within the virtual world and must fight for his life <b>for real</b>.

<br />
It's the time of the year when we at <a href="http://www.backfromthedepths.co.uk/"><strong>Back From The Depths</strong></a> are once again looking for contributors for our freaky free annual pdf horror comic, <strong>HALLOWSCREAM</strong>, so here are the submission guidelines...<br />
<br />
Submissions should be horror orientated and must be weird or spooky to make the final cut.<br />
<br />
We are mainly looking for completed comic strips between 1-7 pages in length. Anything already completed is far more likely to make it into the comic.<br />
<br />
Script submissions should also preferably be around 1-7 pages in length.<br />
<br />
Eerie illustrations and artwork along with interesting horror/comic articles, scary short stories, petrifying poems or anything just plain creepy will also be considered.<br />
<br />
To get an idea of the sort of stuff we're after, you can <strong><a href="http://www.backfromthedepths.co.uk/hallowscream/" target="_blank">download previous issues of Hallowscream here.</a></strong><br />
<br />
If you're looking to illustrate something, get in contact and we'll give you details of available scripts to see if anything suits your fancy.<br />
<br />
We'll also consider material previously published elsewhere, as long as the contributors own the copyright.<br />
<br />
Completed artwork can be either colour or black and white, and should preferably be <strong>A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) 300 dpi jpeg or png</strong>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Submissions can be sent to <strong>merjeagles@yahoo.co.uk</strong> or <strong>ghastlymcnasty@backfromthedepths.co.uk</strong><br />
<br />
As this is a non-profit, small press publication, contributors will not be paid but they will retain copyright on any material submitted.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQjUYnjY3c01HA3xh3U2iDmaqJxSn48wTHvSBBQIWI7gpM8egueoZ4rY0dmn_UaSPaD6fEAMxsgrBlofW5wxeKn7cQW715mIAtyHqM3wYn7yxWWnwYXLcqaKhEe4VPw8kjPbUkQ4yVDQCMzdEtgsNI0bGE3nDGY73d_SFd8BWqICqd32aoxjnwzMK/s1182/NastiesPanel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="826" data-original-width="1182" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQjUYnjY3c01HA3xh3U2iDmaqJxSn48wTHvSBBQIWI7gpM8egueoZ4rY0dmn_UaSPaD6fEAMxsgrBlofW5wxeKn7cQW715mIAtyHqM3wYn7yxWWnwYXLcqaKhEe4VPw8kjPbUkQ4yVDQCMzdEtgsNI0bGE3nDGY73d_SFd8BWqICqd32aoxjnwzMK/w400-h280/NastiesPanel.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br />

Anything already completed is far more likely to make it into the comic.<br /><br />Script submissions should also preferably be around 1-7 pages in length.<br /><br />Eerie illustrations and artwork along with interesting horror/comic articles, scary short stories, petrifying poems or anything just plain creepy will also be considered.<br /><br />To get an idea of the sort of stuff we're after, you can <strong><a href="http://www.backfromthedepths.co.uk/hallowscream/" target="_blank">download previous issues of Hallowscream here.</a></strong><br /><br />One additional stipulation, same as last year...<br /><br /><b style="font-size: x-large;">IMPORTANT : No stories about global pandemics, please! </b>Stories containing the living dead are allowed, but the E.C. comics-style vengeful revenants are preferable to the contagion-spreading George Romero types. The last thing we need right now is a comic full of nothing but tales of how difficult it is to find toilet paper during a zombie apocalypse, (don't pretend you didn't think about it). First and foremost we're producers of escapism (quite icky, gruesome horrible escapism at times, but escapism nonetheless), and we feel it's a good idea to lay off certain storylines at least until such time as current events have settled down a bit. I'm sure you'll understand where we're coming from.<br /><br />If you're looking to illustrate something, get in contact and we'll give you details of available scripts to see if anything suits your fancy.<br /><br />We'll also consider material previously published elsewhere, as long as the contributors own the copyright.<br /><br />Completed artwork can be either colour or black and white, and should preferably be <strong>A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) 300 dpi jpeg or png</strong>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />Submissions can be sent to <strong>merjeagles@yahoo.co.uk</strong> or <strong>ghastlymcnasty@backfromthedepths.co.uk</strong><br /><br />As this is a non-profit, small press publication, contributors will not be paid but they will retain copyright on any material submitted.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqproWw2gGl7xUvMJMQ9bPVK0Y2xR3DN7Zar6XShMVyRcMrwxR5-Wha6vuSUx7Qw9lJXH2eGUslgZWKl6GT3EscT-q8BIAuoWif3QHEBJdZB3yVpZImt_RalR20MG5-70E4IVQRXKYEDw/s2048/MoodSkull.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1388" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqproWw2gGl7xUvMJMQ9bPVK0Y2xR3DN7Zar6XShMVyRcMrwxR5-Wha6vuSUx7Qw9lJXH2eGUslgZWKl6GT3EscT-q8BIAuoWif3QHEBJdZB3yVpZImt_RalR20MG5-70E4IVQRXKYEDw/s320/MoodSkull.png" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">DEADLINES :</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></strong>Scripts, articles and text submissions : <strong> Saturday 31st July 2021</strong><br /><br />Artwork : <strong> Saturday 16th October 2021</strong><br /><br />Completed strips : <strong> Saturday 23rd October 2021.</strong><br /><br />The finished issue will be available online as a free pdf by <strong>October 31st</strong>, with a physical copy becoming available via <strong><a href="https://www.lulu.com/search?adult_audience_rating=00&contributor=Back+from+the+Depths" target="_blank">Lulu.com</a></strong>, soon<strong> </strong>afterwards.

<br />
Submissions should be horror orientated and must be weird or spooky to make the final cut.<br />
<br />
We are mainly looking for completed comic strips between 1-7 pages in length. Anything already completed is far more likely to make it into the comic.<br />
<br />
Script submissions should also preferably be around 1-7 pages in length.<br />
<br />
Eerie illustrations and artwork along with interesting horror/comic articles, scary short stories, petrifying poems or anything just plain creepy will also be considered.<br />
<br />
To get an idea of the sort of stuff we're after, you can <strong><a href="http://www.backfromthedepths.co.uk/hallowscream/" target="_blank">download previous issues of Hallowscream here.</a></strong><br />
<br />
Now here comes that additional stipulation...<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">IMPORTANT : No stories about global pandemics, please! </b>Stories containing the living dead are allowed, but the E.C. comics-style vengeful revenants are preferable to the contagion-spreading George Romero types. The last thing we need right now is a comic full of nothing but tales of how difficult it is to find toilet paper during a zombie apocalypse, (don't pretend you didn't think about it). First and foremost we're producers of escapism (quite icky, gruesome horrible escapism at times, but escapism nonetheless), and we feel it's a good idea to lay off certain storylines at least until such time as current events have settled down a bit. I'm sure you'll understand where we're coming from.<br />
<br />
If you're looking to illustrate something, get in contact and we'll give you details of available scripts to see if anything suits your fancy.<br />
<br />
We'll also consider material previously published elsewhere, as long as the contributors own the copyright.<br />
<br />
Completed artwork can be either colour or black and white, and should preferably be <strong>A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) 300 dpi jpeg or png</strong>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Submissions can be sent to <strong>merjeagles@yahoo.co.uk</strong> or <strong>ghastlymcnasty@backfromthedepths.co.uk</strong><br />
<br />
As this is a non-profit, small press publication, contributors will not be paid but they will retain copyright on any material submitted.<br />

Due to the current world situation, there are a lot of kids indoors who need things to keep them occupied and it's becoming increasingly difficult to pop to the shops to find stuff for them. With that in mind, I've gathered together a load of random black and white drawings into a free pdf as a makeshift colouring book. Just download and print out the pages to colour.</div>
