Making Comics COOL again!

About Me

..
| View | Add FavoriteUltimate Comics Group, LLC (TM) is a United States based company with creators in the United States, Egypt and in the United Kingdom. We're NOT into GIMMICKS and each of our comics will have at least 20+ STORY pages. We're committed to consistently deliver GREAT art and stories in EVERY issue and we pride ourselves on our cutting edge FUSION of both classic AND modern comic art styles! Each and every one of our creators strive to put a smile on the readers face to keep you coming back for MORE! So PLEASE, PLEASE purchase a few copies of our comics posted below for you AND your friends...they aren't the comics your parents read. By the way, for clarification, our profile birthdate we have of July 4, 1976 is NOT our real birthday...it is representative of the year when John, our Project Manager first discovered Comic Books from Ernie, one of our talented writers. Together they have been life long friends and in their comic book obsession, started creating their own characters and comics. Ironically, some of those characters exist in our universe TODAY! Because of that, we celebrate July 4th, 1976 as not only our GREAT Nations BICENTENNIAL, but also the informal BIRTH of Ultimate Comics Group!!!If you are interested in joining our family, please let us know. WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING for TALENTED PENCILLERS, INKERS and DIGITAL COLORISTS! While we absolutely DO require Quality and CONSISTENCY, we do NOT require artists to produce 20+ pages of art each month as most other comic companies do. If you can do anywhere between 1-5 high quality pages per week, give us a shout...we'll assign an project appropriate to your production speed. Whether you are a full time MOM OR a part time artist holding a full time job, if you can be a dependable and consistent artist (Pencillers, Inkers and Digital Colorists), please message us and we can discuss sending you some test pages/test assignments. Please note: test assignments will NOT receive compensation, even if they are published at a future date, but if your submissions really impress us...we'll find a place for YOU on our creative team! Writers and Letterists, at the moment we don't have any positions open for you, however, keep checking out our site...as Ultimate Comics Group, LLC., continues to expand, if our requirements DO change, we will promptly let you know.)If you're interested in joining our creative team, you need to let us know...but please note, to work with us, you must be serious about art. If you want to work on a project, we'll need you to commit to working that project through to completion and within our mutually agreed upon time frame.All new creators that join our creative team will be entitled to 10% of the royalty profits received from the publisher after publication for the first TWO PRINTINGS. The more you do, the more you can earn. For example, if you pencil an issue, you earn 10%, if you both pencil AND ink an issue, you'll earn 20% for the first TWO PRINTINGS. Pencil, Ink AND Digitally color an issue...guess what...you'll be entitled to 30% of the royalty profits received from the publisher for that issue! To earn your share of the Royalty Profits from the publisher after publication, we will require your United States Social Security number or your business Tax Identification number because we will be sending you a 1099 for Tax Purposes. If you want to join our creative team but are NOT a United States Citizen and do NOT have a United States Social Security number (Which is the ONLY way we can financially compensate artists for their work with us), please let us know up front, so we can discuss a mutually agreeable form of compensation.Our COMICS are distributed by Enemi Entertainment http://www.enemi-entertainment.com/home. Enemi Entertainment will be publishing and mailing out their second BI-MONTHLY Enemi Entertainment Distribution Catalog on August 1, 2008 to over 2300+ comic stores.
