Wham Bang Comics Art Director Jason Dube and I recently started submitting our Night Owl comic strip to ROK Comics, a Lancaster, UK-based company that publishes licensed and creator-owned comics for use over cell phones.
After a very short time. ROK Managing Editor John Freeman contacted me about continuing to submit comics to them, for immediate publication and for possible syndication after we finish 20 strips. So far, we've had at least three of our current comics posted on their Internet front page.
I totally love ROK. These guys are tireless and hungry to succeed -- all the elements a company needs to skyrocket to the top.
Our strip is usually published in a typical one-page format, the same type of layout you'd see if you opened a comic book. But to accomodate the "order your strip over the cell phone" style of ROK, we've had to take our already-finished comic pages and reformat them a bit, breaking down each adventure panel-by-panel so that you can access the story on your cell one panel at a time.
And ROK won't just take anything you give them. We recently had a strip returned, with the editor asking us to work on the punch line a bit. We did just that and I think the end result is better.
I'm really hoping ROK decides to syndicate us after we hit the 20 strip mark. Jason, my son Jake, and I are in the process of mass production of our comic strips right now. We're hoping for a long and healthy relationship with ROK.
Just part of our ongoing campaign to bring you Wham Bang-tastic entertainment!
Thanks,
