Greetings Sup Forums! Four years ago, various anons from here joined forces to put together an indie comic anthology called Premier Pulp. The magazine released eight issues and ran until 2014, when it went on a long hiatus. However, the time is right for the project to return!
In order to help rebuild our readership and find newer contributors, I will be storytiming several issues for everyone to read. More information about the project will be available in the following posts.

Q: So what the hell is this?
A: An indie comic anthology that got started on Sup Forums back in 2012. The goal is to get beginners making comics and to help people team up to work on making comics.
Q: How does this magazine work?
A: We run on a deadline system over a period of several months. There's an entry deadline, two progress deadlines, and a final deadline. Currently we're looking at September 5th for the next entry deadline.
Q: Do contributors get paid for this?
A: Nope. I understand if not everyone is willing to do something like this without being paid, but every contributor I've talked to has said it's helped them greatly to becoming better at making comics.
Q: What kind of comics do you accept?
A: Read this blog post: premierpulp.wordpress.com
Q: Do you have to both draw and write to get something in the magazine?
A: Nope, you can be just a writer and have someone else draw it for you. Many past contributions were team efforts. Many artists feel their writing isn't great, so teaming up with someone confident in their abilities can help them a lot.
Q: What skill level do I need to be at to contribute?
A: We welcome complete beginners. If you've never made a comic before, work with us and see how much you can learn. I can't guarantee we'll run your comic but you'll be able to ask for feedback from everyone and our staff during the process.
The first comic today shall be Light Reading by Troy Green.

Keep up the good work cielo

This seems really cool but I won't be reading now. Maybe in the morning. Good luck user.

Thanks user. The thread should last over the weekend so read it when you can.

This feels like an issue of Heavy Metal. Amateurish, but in a good way. Like raw talent that hasn't been refined yet mixed in with some duds, but refreshingly different.
Yeah, I'm getting that vibe too.
There's some good stuff here; as well as some stuff that could be good with a bit of polish.
Thanks anons.

Just finished reading. Thanks OP I had no idea about this. I would love to contribute to the next set of stories, but I have to partner up with an artist since my only redeeming quality is being able to write.
So far I have only written long winded horror/thriller stories, so I think writing a short story for this would be refreshing.
Stop by the Discord server and introduce yourself: discord.gg
What I'll usually do is grab your email and a website with your stuff on it to keep you posted.
It can be tricky for a writer to find an artist to partner with, but some basic tips to follow would be:
1.) Actually write your stuff out. Don't pitch ideas, get scripts done and show them to people.
2.) Don't be afraid to write something specifically to an artist's strengths/tastes.
3.) Don't get discouraged if you can't find a partner. Most artists who partnered up in a past issue will be willing to partner up again in the future.
