Once again, we at Back From The Depths are looking for contributors for our free annual pdf horror comic, HALLOWSCREAM. Here are the submission guidelines...
Submissions should be horror orientated and must be weird or spooky to make the final cut.
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.
Script submissions should also preferably be around 1-7 pages in length.
Eerie illustrations and artwork along with interesting horror/comic articles, scary short stories, petrifying poems or anything just plain creepy will also be considered.

Anything generated using AI will not be considered.
To get an idea of the sort of stuff we're after, you can download previous issues of Hallowscream here.
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.
We'll also consider material previously published elsewhere, as long as the contributors own the copyright.
Completed artwork can be either colour or black and white, and should preferably be A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) 300 dpi jpeg, tiff or png.
