Locals make mark in comics industry

Published 12:12 pm Monday, March 8, 2010

Five Plateau and Sumner-area creators, and three like-minded associates from surrounding towns, are making room for new voices on the comics rack.

Creator’s Edge Press officially announced itself as an independent comic publishing company Feb. 22, after several months of working behind the scenes. There are already 19 titles on the docket, the majority of them in-house projects. Each member has at least one story in production. Series titles are reserved for members, but the company also accepts submissions for one-shots, miniseries and graphic novels from independent creators. Four hours after posting the call for submissions, Editor-in-Chief Josh Inman and Art Director/Editor Travis Bundy had received 180 replies from all over the world.

What the company is looking for is almost absolutely anything outside what can already be seen from the major publishing houses.
