—————————-
Salmiakki.
Salty Liquorice.
Loved by the Finns, avoided by many. Full of things unexplained, unfolding into the pages of a comic book.
This summer, Sanmagumo will bring you a bilingual and multicultural speculative fiction comic collection imagining the incredible worlds of salmiakki!
The book will be published at Worldcon Creators Alley in Helsinki in August 2017.
The main theme of the comic collection will be a type of salty liquorice known as salmiakki, found in abundance in Finland. We welcome works from a wide variety of genres or mixed genres under the wonders of speculative fiction, as long as the piece has something to do with salmiakki.
We are now calling for comic makers from Japan, Finland and elsewhere in the world!
We also warmly welcome translators, proofreaders, fact checkers for checking things we don’t know, and social media people. Also feel free to ask about different forms of collaboration or support. If you wish to do only writing or drawing, we can pair up people to create a comic together. We also have a bunch of story ideas ready for drawing.
The comic project is made under the Finnish – Japanese Comic Group / Label Sanmagumo. Sanmagumo is led by us Nieal and Maro, living in Tampere, Finland. We have spent happy days and nights with similar international comic productions since 2013, bringing together magnificent Finnish and Japanese artists to explore cultural communication through comics.
Since the book is self-published, we can’t offer any reward money to the participants as much as we would love to. We will take part in Worldcon, Comic Market and Tracon with this project.
Got interested? Please email a short introduction about yourself to sanmagumo at gmail and we’ll send you the detailed invitation. After this you have until 28th of May to tell us about what you would like to do (please check the mail invitation for details about what info we need). We will let each possible participant know as soon as possible if they have been accepted into the project.
