SNAKELOOP!

Intro

The classic American comic book industry is a strange place. Massive legacy publishers owned by global media companies dominate most of it. Which is cool. Whatever. In addition to "The Big Two" there are a dice-toss of smaller companies; genere publishers, art houses, IP farms, and doomed venture start-ups. Go for it, I guess.

Except the industry should have collapsed and been reborn already. It hasn't though. Comic book creators sustain it with passion despite it having no actual lifestyle, health, or financial benefits. Like some Die for Darksied shit. So that's not great.

Anyway, we make comics.

Work

This industry can attract some fringe personalities. Sometimes that's great. Interesting, creative, genuine people. You'll run across some creeps for sure. Absolute fucking weirdos. Somehow they tend to stick around longer than anyone would like. Then there are the people who just try too hard, you know? Their whole persona is part of the "comic book famous" hustle. We are not those people.

I promise you, eventually, we'll make some comics!

About

If you play old vinyl records backwards you will 100% hear The Devil tell you to buy comic books. Most people know this already. What most people don't know is that we make comics!

We don't really talk about it except with each other. We've all worked in the American comic book business for more or less our whole lives. We have this Discord chat we're we talk about comics, music, movies, TV, and all sorts of stuff. Anyway, we were taking about comics and we were like, man, wouldn't it be great to make comics and just not care about things like length, or format, or style, or making them marketable or appealing or profitable? Sometimes you just need to walk out into the desert with nothing, you know?

Contact

The age old question: how do I break into comics? It's a trick question. Life is random and impossible. It's filled with conspiracies and cults. People that don't make their beds or wear flip-flops in the city are just out there living like savages. Knife of the Month Club exists. Some people hate dogs. There are multiple (successful!) businesses built around selling collectables. Some people like olives. It's chaos!

Anyway, maybe at some point we'll know each other well enough to invite you to our Discord or something. But not right now.
