Wow, this one slipped under the radar! A couple of weeks ago, January 7th to be exact, Ambush Bug over at Ain’t It Cool News had some nice things to say about the latest issue of Super Fantastica Comix! Click here and head over to AICN and read it!
Thanks Ambush Bug!
The much anticipated and newest edition of Super Fantastica Comix was released at the MCBA FallCon 2008 last weekend! This edition includes 24 pages of stories, printed in black and white, along with two pages of artist biographies.
As you can see for only three dollars you get a beautifully illustrated cover by the incomparable Steve Stwalley! This edition’s theme was PSA and the contributors did their very best to create a one to five page story that somehow (subtly or not) include that acronym. Creators include: Amado Rodriguez, Ben Z, Bob Lipski, Brian Bastian, Bud Burgy, Daniel J. Olson, Danno Klonowski, Ray N., Ryan Dow, Steven Stwalley, Vanesa Littlecrow
This printing is limited to 50 copies and will hit comic shops so gracious to carry it soon! More info on where to find it will follow later. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures from the book!
I’ve heard quite a bit of feedback on those planning on participating in the upcoming Super Fantastica Comix issue. It sounds like we will have a pretty solid book. The tentative lineup for the book is as follows:
Amado Rodriguez
Ben Z
Bob Lipski
Brian Bastian
Bud Burgy
Daniel J. Olson
Danno Klonowski
Ray N.
Ryan Dow
Steven Stwalley
Vanesa Littlecrow
Can’t wait to see everything!

Hello Friends!
After the last two, moderately successful releases of Super Fantastica Comix, we are now taking submissions for the Summer 2008 edition — although a bit later than expected! Below is all of the pertinent information.
Theme: PSA
Comic Dimensions:
Submissions lengths must be between one to six pages, black and white, or greyscale. All pages will be printed at 5.5″ x 8.5″ including an eighth inch gutter on all sides. Therefore all art must not exceed the printable dimensions of 5.25″ x 8.25″. Make certain to include your name, title of the entry, and a web address (if applicable) on the first or last page of the entry.
Biographies: Each artist must compose a biography of no more than 100 words. Make certain to include your name, previous works, and any applicable contact information (i.e. web addresses, MySpace accounts, etc.).
How to Submit:
We will take submissions both digital and physical.
If you choose to send your submissions digitally please format them at 800 dpi for black and white and 300 dpi for greyscale. Please save images as JPG or PSD file formats. Attach the files, along with how you would like to be credited, to superfantasticacomix at hotmail dot com
If you cannot send your submissions electronically, please contact superfantasticacomix at hotmail dot com and we will determine another method of shipment. Prior to submitting to this anthology, please contact superfantasticacomix at hotmail dot com with a rough estimate of your page count, so we can take into account the approximate size of the book and make a contingency for printing options.
Deadline:
The solid deadline for submissions is Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 11:59 PM CST (yeah, I know, only a month). These books will be released in September and will be available at establishments generous enough to carry them and at the MCBA Fallcon from on Saturday, October 4th and Sunday, October 5th 2008, which is the premiere comic convention in the upper midwest and in its 20th year! Twin Cities. For more information on the MCBA Fallcon, please visit their website.
Availability:
Along with the usual shops in the Twin Cities, these books will also be available at Quimby’s in Chicago, Green Brain Comics in Detroit, and Vault of Midnight Comics in Ann Arbor. Additional sites will become available as the deadline approaches.
If you have a shop that you are aware of that consigns or purchases mini-comic anthologies, please e-mail superfantasticacomix at hotmail dot com with the appropriate contact information.
Compensation:
Each participant will receive one free copy of Super Fantastica Comix — not much I know, damn the economy. If the participant would like extra copies, they can pay for them at cost. Generally speaking cost will be half of the cover price. Cover price will be determined by the amount of contributors to the book.
Exclamation point!
