Space Monsters Magazine is excited to announce an open call for submissions for our inaugural ashcan edition!
This special edition will be printed and distributed to comic shops and other retailers to generate buzz and interest in our revamped magazine, which will be reminiscent of the classic publications of the past, such as Famous Monsters of Filmland, Warren magazines, and House of Hammer.
Tom Skulan from FantaCo and I are working together to bring Space Monsters to the shelves, and we're looking for talented writers and artists to contribute to this exciting project.
For our ashcan edition, we're seeking articles that focus on special makeup FX, both practical and CGI, with a leaning towards practical FX. We're also interested in articles about classic, new, and indie sci-fi and horror films, TV series, games, books, comics, and other related topics.
Each article will be introduced by Grimaldi, the host of Space Monsters, in a style reminiscent of the iconic introductions by The Cryptkeeper, Uncle Creepy, Cousin Eerie, and Vampirella.
In addition to articles, we're also seeking concepts for an 8-page black-and-white comic that will be featured in each issue. We're looking for extreme, exploitation-style sci-fi/horror content that will appeal to fans of the genre.
The ashcan edition will be 32 pages in length, with the 8-page comic taking up a significant portion of the publication. This is an opportunity to establish yourself as a writer or artist and potentially secure ongoing columns or one-off articles in future issues.
We're looking for original, unpublished content, and we encourage you to submit your ideas and articles via email to spacemonsterzmag@gmail.com.
We're excited to see what you have to offer and look forward to working with you to create an unforgettable ashcan edition of Space Monsters Magazine!
Best regards, Jason Brazeal Editor-In-Chief, Space Monsters Magazine
