About Panelgraph Showcase
------------------------------------------

"Panelgraph Showcase" is a free online bimonthly comics anthology for writers and artists to hone the craft of creating original comics. We meet every month to make friends, work on our contributions and share knowledge.

If creating stories using words and pictures with like-minded creators sounds like fun, this is the place for you. Pitch ideas, get feedback, find collaborators, learn and share.

We focus on science fiction, fantasy, horror and other popular genres. We like heroes, villains, babes, monsters, robots, ninja, zombies, time travel, adventure, romance, comedy, anything larger than life. We avoid small personal stories set in HDB heartlands.
