Comics generally range from one to five pages. Because one goal of Candy or Medicine is to be accessible to all ages, comics must be appropriate for a general audience. Use popular comics as a general guideline for what is appropriate or inappropriate content (regarding language, violence, sex, etc). Nothing racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. will be considered. It is preferred that the work submitted to Candy or Medicine has not been previously published, but exceptions can be made. There are no themes to the issues.
Please send artwork as a high-resolution (at least 300 dpi) JPEG, TIFF, PDF or similar file. The comic measures 4.25" X 5.5", so artwork must be proportional to that size.
Production Schedule
Candy or Medicine publishes on a quarterly schedule. Please note that because of the volume of submissions, they will be considered on a first come, first served basis. As long as it meets the guidelines, your comic will be published, it just might take some time.
Candy or Medicine is a quarterly mini-comic anthology published by Josh Blair. It showcases a diverse talent of mini-comics creators, provides a low-cost exposure of mini-comics to new audiences and shows people of all ages and skill levels that they can make comics.
