Ad Campaigns for Comixpedia


Two things we could use some help with -

1. Suggestions on places to advertise Comixpedia online and offline.

2. Specific ideas for ads - collectively the readership of Comixpedia has to be much wittier than me, myself and I so fire away. Just to throw out an example if Comixpedia bought the Keenspot newsbox for a day how would you use it?

Fire away!

Solicitation for Artist for New KeenSpot Series


Neil Gustavson of Robot Stories recently posted a notice that he is seeking an artist for a new webcomic (a spin-off of Robot Stories):

I'm looking for an artist for my new humor webcomic for which I will be scripting, and possibly inking/coloring, etc... I'm looking for a dynamic artist to draw 2-3 comic strips a week for an extented period of time... 4-6 panels each.

The comic will be hosted on Keenspot and supported by Dayfree Press. Topics of the series involves in girls, D&D, goths, and comic books. There will be pay (small amount at first) based on a portion of ad revenues, quarterly, though not much, so you should sign up only if this really interests you.

Blarg! workin in a vacuum


Well, after nearly 45-50 strips, and a FrightNight 2003 submission I am still getting little or no traffic for my strip Boundary Waters. Could I get someone to give my site a look-see and let me know if my lack of visiblity is due to inadequate promotion, or because it sucks. And if it is due to crappy promotion, if somebody has some pointers I would appreciate it because I seem to be getting nowhere with getting some exposure.

Interviews in Review: Leah Fitzgerald recaps her 5 Favorite Interviews of 2003


The last year of Comixpedia interviews has given us a chance to get to know a number of webcomics creators a little better. Before we launch into a new year, and many more such opportunities I thought I would share my five favourite interviews from Comixpedia, Year One.

Damonk's Own Quickie Personal Webcomic Year In Review

2003. The Year of Stuff. One Year after 2002, and 365.23 Days before 2004.

Backwards, it would be 3002...

...which time-wise, would actually be forwards.

After having been exposed no doubt to the bajillions of other media's own versions of Year In Reviewstravaganzas, it's clearly obvious that the one thing you would now crave most would be to hear YET ANOTHER person's own thoughts on the year.

It’s been nearly a year since Comixpedia began its remarkable transformation from the rough concept that Xaviar Xerexes pitched to me, to the webcomics magazine that it is now, and I think we’ve accomplished a lot for a group of loosely-affiliated webcomics creators, living in our own far-flung corners of the world.

2003: Year in Review From the Mouth of Your Fave Webtoonists, by Kelly J Cooper


2003 was a pretty scary year. Whether you agree with it or not, war is a pretty terrifying thing. We lost another space shuttle, another crew, and – in a bad case of déjà vu – followed a flurry of finger-pointing in the aftermath.

"The latest Flash Player is required to view this site properly"

The title page of Alpha Shade should be read like a warning marker to the unwary, letting the potential reader know what they may find within the home of Christopher and Joseph Brudlos' tag-team foray into the steampunk genre. Still fairly new – having launched only this past July – Alpha Shade is a unique mix of traditional manga cobbled together through the creative use of (Flash) technology.
