The Indiana Review literary magazine has been around for 25 years. They're currently putting together a special issue about "marginal identities, immigrant experiences, transnationalism and hybridity." They are looking for the standard poems and stories and non-fiction work, but they are also looking to add comics. From the IUB.edu website:

Attention Comic Artists: We're looking for black and white comics that tackle these subjects to include in this special issue. IR is 6 x 9 inches. Ideally, we'd like to feature three or four artists, devoting about 16 pages total. Payment: $50/page. Submission Deadline: October 31, 2003. However, we'll keep reading until we fill the issue...

Check the link for more details about the subject matter and submission guidelines.

Hi,

I run a mike watt (San Pedro, CA bassist) tribute page and comic artist Steve Lafler has been kind enough to allow me to post some of the work he's done for columbia/sony promotions:

Does this chicken scare you? It should. It's part of one of the starter panels from our Comixpedia Hallowe'en Event. We want you to create a 13-panel scary story starting from a random panel we assign.

Don't be chicken. Give this a spin and try to scare the pants off us. You might be frightened by what you come up with.
