UK-Based Artist Wanted For New Webcomic

Bulletin:

BOSTIN HEROES is a new adventure serial, in which four strangers are charged with protecting the Black Country and Beyond on the eve of the Second Industrial Revolution. The series is a lighthearted, character-driven superhero story - think FANTASTIC FOUR meets DIESEL SWEETIES - and all it needs to make it work is the right artist.

The Right Artist!

1. Will have a clear, friendly line (as the series will be marketed to the broadest possible audience, including non-/new comics readers).
2. Will be familiar with the West Midlands/Black Country area (as stories will have a strong Midlands flavour, set in familar landmarks such as Dudley Zoo and The Black Country Museum).
3. Will be committed to producing at least 1-2 pages per week, starting with the 16-page origin spectacular.

Based on characters created by Donato Esposito, and written by Matthew Craig, Bostin Heroes is a spin-off of the Bostin website and T-shirt store. We're still looking at funding the strip, but the initial plan involves sourcing local business sponsorship, web advertising, print editions of finished stories, and grants. Bostin Heroes would suit an artist looking for their first regular commitment.

Character notes, sketches and the initial origin story are available on request. Interested parties should contact Matthew Craig. Links to portfolio sites/previous work only, please: do not send attachments.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Matthew Craig
