Published through Image Comics, the Shadowline brand is the brainchild of comics legend Jim Valentino. Its purpose: to publish great comics. Plain and simple.
Information will be constantly updated about our publishing schedule. Check the calendar for on-shelf dates!
Shadowline Submissions Guidelines:
1. No projects that have already been submitted to Image Central.
- Shadowline is NOT a back-door into Image. If IC has rejected you, we will too.
2. We prefer 3 to 4-issue mini-series’, in order keep our lineup rotating.
3. We want books that are DIFFERENT from what we are already publishing.
- There is nothing “specific†that we are looking for, send us the story that only YOU can tell.
4. Send us 5 fully completed pages, and a cover. Include a one-paragraph synopsis of what your story is about.
- pages CAN be, but don't NEED to be colored. They DO need to be inked and lettered.
5. Absolutely NO pitches on this page! All posted pitches in the comment section will be deleted.
6. E-mail all pitches to [email protected]. Include your name and e-mail address along with your synopsis and pages (jpeg attachments only please! NO LINKS!).
That’s it. That’s all you need to know. Follow these guidelines and you should have no questions, and no problems! If you CAN’T follow these guidelines, then don’t submit!
Please be warned inability to follow directions will get your submission disqualified immediately.
