Skullkickers

It’s the last day for all of you to submit your writing/art for our Skullkickers Tavern Tales Contest! 8 weeks can go by quickly, and here we are now at the end.

If you’ve already submitted material, thank you so very much. We’ve already received a ton of entries and are humbled by the great response this contest received from comic writers and artists aplenty.

With so many to go through, it’s going to take some time to filter through all the entries and choose our winners. We hope to have the winners announced by end of May. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

This weekend Jim Zub will be exhibiting at the Calgary Expo, one of the biggest shows in Canada!

Bring your copies of Skullkickers or buy trades and issues directly from Jim at Table X-17. He’ll have copies of Skullkickers Treasure Trove, our soft cover trades, rare variant covers and the Skullkickers World Map for sale, along with sketches and more.

He’ll also be on two panels at the show:

Saturday April 28th
Writers Unite: Pitching Your Creator Owned Comics
Room: Palomino C
Time: 3:00pm – 4:00pm

Jim Zub will relay funny anecdotal stories of his own creative journey as he illustrates how to write comics, set goals, create pitches, and ultimately get your own work out to the masses. Be sure to come prepared with any questions you want answered.

Sunday April 29th
Convention Horror Stories
Room: Palomino C
Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm

And you thought horror movies were scary! Jim Zub will regale you with bone chilling and hair raising real life stories of some of the conventions he’s attended.

Jim is interviewed by Vince and Roger at Comic Book Informer all about creator-owned comics, tabletop RPGs, Skullkickers, Makeshift Miracle and more.

Ancient evil has arisen aboard the pirate ship called the Mermaid’s Bottom in this, the penultimate part of our 3rd story arc. Mind-control, maidens, monsters, meat, and more words that start with “M”. Everybody say it with me now: “Mmmmmmmmm…”
