š! #42 'Scientific Facts' Open Call

Are you also sick of all the alternative and fake news? We for sure are! Therefore we decided to make a new issue based only on real, scientific facts! And due to the popular demand (it's true!) we are launching an open call for this issue. If you would like to take part and put an end to all the disinformation, find out all the details of participation below

Additional notes: 

- After receiving your work we'll write you a confirmation e-mail within 14 days. If you don't hear from us, write us again, maybe your mail got lost or the internet got shut down.
- The decision what we'll publish will be made until 1 June. We'll mail you if you're in!
- We'd prefer if you don't publish the full comics on- or offline before we print it. 
- Please don't send comics which are made for a bigger format. If your comic is unreadable in A6 format, it will not be published!

- We are always happy to feature experimental approaches in storytelling and art. Don't limit yourself!
- If you have any questions, just write us. Best if you write a comment below, as other people might have the same question.

If you are indifferent about fake news or are just not interested to take part, you can also just purchase some of our previous books. You can find them all on komikss.lv or maybe even at your local comic shop. If you are just into following stuff on social media, you can find us here on twitter, facebook and instagram.

Looking forward to your submissions. Let's spread some facts!
