ELEVATOR PITCH
What’s an Elevator Pitch?
Imagine you have a comic that you’ve put a lot of work, life and soul into. You love it.You know others would to. You get into an elevator, maybe in a hotel at a convention. At the same time, in walks a wellknown editor. The doors close and you are alone. This is your chance - but you only have a short time to get your work noticed ... That’s the concept of Elevator Pitches. Provide us with a single sentence summarising your comic and another explaining why we should pick it up. Follow this up with a five page preview and the pitch is done - let the work sell itself. If you would like to submit a comic for this section, email: [email protected].
White Knuckle Elevator Pitch
Writer: Cy Dethan Artist: Valia Kapadai Letterer: Nic Wilkinson Publisher: Markosia
What is White Knuckle? “White Knuckle is a complex and intense psychological thriller, distorting the ever-popular “retired gunslinger” motif into a rain-slick urban fantasy of murderous men and the needs that drive them.” Why should we pick this up? “Valia Kapadai turns her haunting style and nightmarish sensibilities loose on the story of a tormented former serial strangler who accidentally saves the life of his last victim’s grandson.”
