What we are looking
for: Self-contained sci-fi, fantasy,
horror and adventure strips, 1-6 pages in length. Twist in the tale strips tend to work well,
as do stories with entertaining larger than life characters and scenarios. Strips should be aimed at a 15+ age group (please
keep nudity/swearing and drugs references to a minimum, if possible. There are occasionally exceptions, if the
strip is good enough). Completed strips
(as opposed to scripts) are preferred, and stand a much greater chance of being
accepted. Sequential art samples are
welcome from those artists who have no writing partner but are interested in
getting involved. There are also plenty of one page scripts on offer for those artists who are too busy to commit to anything longer.
Subjects for writers
to avoid: Zombies (we already have
more than enough of those, thanks), people going into crrrazy Virtual Reality
worlds (unless there’s a REALLY original twist involved), stories in which a
bunch of soldiers mindlessly shoot things …but in space! Anything for the 'spandex and cape' crowd (i.e., no Superheroes).
Page Dimensions: Minimum of 2063x3150 pixels, 300 dpi, RGB,
JPGS. Full colour strips preferred, but
not vital.
All contributors receive a free digital copy of the comic
their strip appears in, and retain the rights to their work (though it's appreciated if they give it at least 6 months after publication in 100% Biodegradable, before having the strip published elsewhere). If their strip also features in the Print On
Demand collection, this will be made available to the
contributors at cost price, with the option to buy and even sell as many copies as they like. We are also very supportive of contributors who have comic related Kickstarters, and are happy to offer digital issues of 100% Biodegradable, as rewards tiers.
Other than that, there is no payment involved.

Please note: We are currently CLOSED to submissions, as all our pages are full! This may change at a later date (if we have any strips drop out, etc).
