DC Comics, they of Superman and Batman fame, have announced a general call for artist submissions. They want a new artist to illustrate a single-page story in the upcoming Harley Quinn #0. The big companies, such as Marvel and DC, rarely offer open calls, so this potentially could be a very good and rare opportunity for an artist seeking to break into that aspect of the comics industry. Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, October 1, 2013.
The script for this single-page story has received a lot of controversy as it features Harley Quinn attempting to commit suicide in various exaggerated manners and the final image is her having a bath. It would be up to each artist’s personal judgement on whether this is something they would be comfortable drawing.
“Harley Quinn is no stranger to a little breaking and entering for a good time and now, she’s going to help one talented artist break into comics with DC Entertainment’s Open Talent Search. That’s right, we’re looking for someone to draw one page of HARLEY QUINN #0 alongside some of comic’s most amazing talents, including Amanda Conner, Paul Pope, Bruce Timm, and a few other surprises, maybe even you!!
Beginning this November, Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner will be writing the madcap adventures of Harley Quinn and they’ll need all the help they can get to handle her, so they’re opening the invitation to one undiscovered talent to join them. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be published in this special issue, then put on your working hat and start drawing now, because an opportunity like this doesn’t come along very often.”
