Submissions for the 2026 year of the DC PRIDE: Fan Zine are officially open! If you would like to contribute to a celebration of your favorite LGBT characters in DC Comics, we want to hear from you. We are looking for contributors who have a story to tell through their art or writing, and are interested in helping you find collaborators that best suit your work!
Note: Although we aim to primarily feature canon queer characters, the theme of “Behind the Mask” takes primary precedent. We are interested in stories about the relationship between queer identities and secret identities, and if you need to use a queer interpretation of a character who is not queer in the canon in order to accomplish that, we are excited to see it!
If you are an artist, you can submit your application through our google form. We are looking for:
Physical and/or Digital Merch Artists
Assistant Artists (inkers/colorists)
If you are a writer, please email your completed script to [email protected]. If your script is selected to appear in the special, you will be invited to join our discord server the same as our artists, so that you can work and communicate with the artist who will help bring your story to life. You will need to send:
Your completed script as a PDF attachment. Consider referencing the setup of a comic script as illustrated by blambot.
At the top of your script, please include your name and email, as well as the name and email of any writing collaborators.
In your email, please include a brief summary of your story (1-2 sentences) and list all characters that make an appearance.
If you are already working with an artist to bring your script to life, please ensure that they fill out the artist application, and include their name (as written in their application) in the body of your email. Please also make sure to note if this is the only artist you wish to illustrate your script so we can evaluate the work as a unit, or if the artist listed is a preference.
We can’t wait to see what everyone brings to the table! Remember that submissions for both artists and scripts ends on December 31st!
