ELEVATOR PITCHES
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: thegeeks@geeksyndicate.co.uk.

What is LIL?
“Lil is about to turn thirty five years old, but she has not one damn thing to celebrate. A lousy waitress working her lousy days in a lousy diner, her only escape is the smokes, the bottle, and the needle. All she wants is to be left alone. But now someone is out to get her... Deliciously dark and unashamedly sinful, LIL tells the tale of twisted love, a twisted life and some seriously twisted attitude. “Most people end up a version of what they oughta be...Damn near everybody’s a story of what they hope they’re not.”
Why should we pick this up?
“Steeped in the traditions of classic Noir storytelling, this gritty Graphic Novel Series is soaked from head to foot in tension and terror that you just won’t be able to turn away from. Luckily then, there is a hell of a lot more to come… “This realistically-styled mature noir comic would fit right into Vertigo ’s catalogue!” http://www. drunkduck.com/ “Art, script and premise just DRIP with noir personality. You.Must.Read!” A Frank Willis Jr http:// podmagnetic.libsyn.com/ “Awesome style, really cool! You don’t see many people taking a noir style approach in their work, and love to see it out there. It feels like I’m reading a good black & white movie” http://inkd.me/”
