CONTEST: Want to Write or Draw a SKULLKICKERS Story? It Could Happen.

The creative team behind Image Comics’ Skullkickers series has thrown down the gauntlet for would-be writers and artists. You’re gonna want to pick it up.

Regular readers will know that between each new arc of Skullkickers, there’s a single issue anthology of short stories called “Tavern Tales.” These short stories are scripted and drawn by guest writers and artists. If you have the knack, you could end up supplying one of the shorts an upcoming “Tavern Tales” issue of Skullkickers. That’s your work on the shelves in a legit publication from Image Comics.
