Short Comics Competition Digital Anthology

Our first-ever Short Comics Competition brought us some amazing talent. From 3-page horror shorts, to a gripping story of post-apocalyptic movie watching, the creators on these books hit it out of the park!

Our digital anthology features the competition’s grand prize winner and all the finalists. And, don’t forget, the grand prize winner will also be published in our upcoming Negative Space Anthology — which was successfully crowdfunded in the fall of 2022! If you didn’t get your copy yet, keep an eye out for how to get them once the book goes to print in early 2023.
