Hey there everyone, this is a gentle reminder that the current window for script submissions for FutureQuake & Something Wicked closes next Monday, 31st August.
We have a wealth of new scripts to be read and the standard is as good as we hoped it would be.
Thanks again to all those who have sent scripts and are still waiting for feedback — we ARE reading scripts everyday.
Here’s the thing – I lettered this strip for ACES Weekly by writer Joshua Spiller and artist Roland Bird. So there you have my ‘vested interest’ out of the way.
Creator blurb–
So now the strip is back to being creator owned (as all ACES WEEKLY strips are, David Lloyd just asks for an exclusive for two years) and Joshua has collected the strip to be read in one sitting and made it available via Gumroad.
The complete strip is available for a mere £1.50 and it is recommended.
Brought to my attention via the astounding work of John Freeman on Down the Tubes, this is a post about the work of David Broughton – small press artist supreme.
Superb work, David. We are all big fans of yours here at FQP.
Word reached us here at FQP recently that ADAM BREEN has won the Top Cow talent hunt for writing this year.
Adam has been contributing to FQP since 2013 and hasn’t stopped yet! His work has appeared in Dogbreath 35, Something Wicked 2019, FutureQuake 2018, 2019 & 2020 and also Zarjaz – 23, 28, 30 and has strips yet to be seen.
We want to send our heartfelt congratulations to Adam, and wish him all the best in his next steps.
Down the Tubes have posted a quick look at the new Zarjaz, with a more full review to follow.
Thanks John.
It doesn’t get better than this. Thanks again to Simon for providing such a superb cover.

FQP are pleased to announce that from today, June 3rd to August 31st they are open to new scripts.
FQP titles FutureQuake and Something Wicked are two premiere level titles with a focus on new talent & developing talent and a proven track record in help new creatives hone their skills. Scripts are being welcomed for both titles- script length of ideally 4-6 pages with a ‘twist’ in the tail.
The 2000 AD fanzines Dogbreath & Zarjaz are still open to scripts so there is room for writers of all levels to contribute.
Note that all scripts will be read in the order received and only short stories are being sought. FQP do not publish serials or complete graphic novels.
If accepted, writers will be informed of the next steps towards getting the script commissioned and turned into a comic strip.
Currently both titles can accommodate around 40 strips a year, so it may be that scripts have a significant delay between acceptance and commission. If that is an issue to you, keep in touch with editorial to see where you are in the lists.
Send all script submissions to futurequakepress@googlemail.com and good luck.
