Radical Publishing is running an illustration contest. Based on their new horror comic, Abattoir, they’re asking illusteators to “draw your best version of the villainous Jebediah Crone. For each of the first five issues, Radical will select a winner to be featured on a per issue basis, with five winners in total. For a chance to be featured in Abattoir #2, upload and email a link of your Jebediah Crone artwork to promotions [at] radicalpublishing [dot] com no later than 10 November 2010. Your illustration must be based on a scene of Jebediah Crone as seen in the pages of Abattoir #1.”
The first winner will be announced on 17 November, with runners up featured on Radical Publishing’s Facebook page. Each artist is limited to one illustration, and all illustrations will be judged by Radical’s Art Director, Jeremy Berger.
After the release of Abattoir #6, Radical will hold a contest for fans to pick the best entry amongst the five individual winners. The winning illustration will then be featured in the Abattoir trade paperback collection.
Created by director Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw franchise, Mother’s Day), written by Rob Levin and Troy Peteri, and illustrated by Bing Cansino, Abattoir #1 goes on sale 27 October. Taking place shortly after a brutal massacre occurs in a gorgeous house, real estate agent and family man Richard Ashwalt is assigned the impossible task of picking up the pieces and selling the property. As Richard inspects the blood-soaked grounds, a twisted old man journeys to the house with a sinister and terrifying purpose. Richard is about to be drawn into a web of shadows, murders, and massacres that will shatter him to his very core!
