Salutations /co/! 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.
I'll be starting off with some issues from 2013. More information on the project will be available in the following posts.
If you want to get involved and contribute something to the upcoming 2016 issue, get in touch with us at our Discord server: https://discord.gg/0tD9RZu8RQWWHeds
Or alternatively, you can stop by our IRC channel: http://www.mibbit.com/#[email protected]
Both should work without a desktop client
Our main website is currently under renovations, so I'll direct everyone to our other sites.

Q: So what the hell is this?
A: An indie comic anthology that got started on /co/ 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 early September 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: http://premiercomics.tumblr.com/post/145530540125/premier-comics-what-newcomers-need-to-know-2 Pay attention to the technical requirements in particular, we want the comics to run to be uniform in format.
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.

Here as in /co/? I don't believe you. 1) /co/ is way too useless to actually make any worthwhile content. 2) There's no way /co/ would come up with that character design. They would ree so hard they'd explode.

This is an older project, or "pre-ree".

>older project
According to the OP, this was four years ago. That's definitely after 4chan as a whole become solely dedicated to whining about Tumblr.

We've been around a while

I remember making something for the pre-premier editions of this comic -- A short called Snake Oil. Still got the pages floating around somewhere... It was nice to work with the artist on it. I have no artistic talent beyond basic shapes but I'm a fairly good writer.
I don't think I'll link the IRC in the next thread, the Discord has been doing much better. If you stopped by the IRC and I didn't notice you come by the Discord instead.
>premier pulp was three years ago
I've been here too long.

If you want to work on the comic again you can try coming by the Discord and I can take a look at it.
I remember trying to match up with an artist back in the day. It never worked out. It was still fun trying.
>>84055528
I might do so soon -- I wouldn't want to rehash an old idea, but it should work as an example!
That was the Symphanova by Madadayo and Kiarou.
>>84055782
It can be a challenge to find someone to team up with, but even if you can't find a partner you're welcome to hang around and talk about comic writing.
I'd like to participate but I doubt I can manage a comic on my own, as I have to many shortcomings.
>>84055957
Start with a short comic. Less than five pages is a good restriction to work with.

That was 10k/b by rocko. Sadly I haven't talked to him in years and all efforts to contact him have been in vain. If by some chance anyone knows him tell him to get back in contact with the Pulp guys again.
