www.dirtydiamonds.net/kickstarter

Your favorite all-girl comic anthology is at it again with our newest Kickstarter, supporting the publication and artist payment for our TENTH and FINAL issue: DEATH.

Like all good things, Dirty Diamonds: an all-girl comic anthology must also come to an end. But we want to make sure we go out with a bang (never a whimper), so we've been working hard to put together our most fantastic issue yet!  

Featuring an otherworldly cover by Shivana Sookdeo ( @shivanasookdeo) and the work of over 70 creators from all over the world, this issue of Dirty Diamonds highlights the multitude thoughts, fears, hopes and experiences our artists have around the most universal theme of them all: DEATH

Read the unexpected, insightful, and soul-wrenching responses from today's contemporary female & femme comic creators and pre-order your copy of DEATH through our Kickstarter today!

As always, Dirty Diamonds knows the importance of PAYING women artists for their incredible work, yet these books have always been a labor of love for us, so we rely on our Kickstarter supporters to help us make sure our creators receive the coin they deserve! A full 44% of our initial goal goes directly towards paying our contributors!

SUPPORT OUR KICKSTARTER TODAY!

Also, don't forget to share, retweet, re-blog, re-squeeze, re-ply, re-WHATEVER all the fun and thrilling things we'll be posting throughout the campaign.

DIRTY DIAMONDS #10 is OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!

We are looking for comic proposals from female/femme comic creators for the next issue of our award-winning anthology around the theme of DEATH.

We are always looking for a wide and diverse range of responses to the anthology's theme, so take your time to think about the connections you have to the theme and what it means to you. We fully encourage pushing the theme to its limits and being as creative as you can be with it. 

You could cover: Death. Darkness. Closure. Endings. Passing. Finality. Loss. Silence. Mortality. Rest. Rebirth.

...Or anything else related to YOU and the subject of "DEATH."

Send us your ideas AND help us spread the word (And yes, there will be a Kickstarter to support the book coming in January 2020.)! 

All of the guidelines and the submission form are available on the Submit! page on our website, so check out the details and send us your comic proposals!

PROPOSALS ARE DUE by midnight on May 31st, 2019!
