Sadly some of the comics I think that would fit quite well (The "Snail Factory" for example, or others I like) would be ruined if they loose their color. <br /> <br />Maybe the biggest problem is to find fitting comics and artists.

But as a general hint as absolute "no way": <br />- Pure stickart jokes, <br />- anything manga-like, <br />- stories about "cute" manga-fairies that look like paste-and-copy from a teenage browser game, <br />- sitcom routines based on daily casual life/ soap opera <br />- stories about teenagers who cry their eyes out because they got the wrong I-phone for birthday <br />- any "children say the funniest things" <br />- peanuts/ simpsons/ calvin & hobbes/ garfield/ etc - lookalikes <br />- videogame-based comics <br />- comics done with poser or using lots of virtual effects <br />- comics primaly based on relationship / school/ family <br />- anything Rap/ Hip Hop/ Skater- related</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>DoctorStevehatten</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 8:36 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I think I was thrown off by the term "gorgon-into."

Vampirella and many, many other comics borrowed the idea of the 1950ies E.C. Horrorcomics that introduced some characters who acted as host for the magazine and gave a short introduction of each comic. Vampirella improved this concept by giving the host her own strip. As Medusa Tanis Bava, the heroine of my Steampunk Gorgon-comic is the host of the magazine (Medusa's Mirror), she would introduce each short comic. Of course it is wittier if each artist draws the introduction in his own style. (I admit it would be fun if some other do this for others, too. But I would prefer if not all intros would be done by me.) <br /> <br /></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">This sounds like a nifty idea, I'm suprised no one has posted in this thread.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Actually, many comics would not fit into the categories I'm asking for (point IV). It is probably the best idea to PM some more artists I'm thinking off. <br /> <br /> <br />How many pages per artist?

If you recall such magazins like Vampirella or Heavy Metal, there where probably some artists and works you loved and some you hated, and that's just allright. <br />But we will need some more then two artists, I will ask some people whose work I have seen in here when I have a little more time.
