The HIVE anthology
I recently came across a comic anthology called HIVE that has regional roots. The HIVE anthology is published by Grimalkin Press, which was started by Springfield Missouri creator J.M. Shivley. The anthology editing duties have recently shifted to a local named Ingrid Bohnenkamp (though she’ll be leaving Columbia soon). She is currently the distributor of the past HIVE issues, including issue #4 which just came out in May. You can buy the anthologies online at their Etsy site.
The anthology features many up and coming cartoonists in its several volumes. If you think your work can pass the Grimalkin Press editors, you can submit a story to HIVE #5 by July 15th. It’s a quarterly anthology, so if you miss the deadline you might be able to submit to the next one.
Ingrid was also recently involved with publishing a zine anthology called i.e. that collects various prose, poetry and comics (including some comics from Chicagoan Jefffery Brown). If you’d like to get your hand on a free copy, you can get in contact with her.
