ABOUT

IV Press is the micro-publishing arm of the international art collective Ink Vein, operated primarily out of Wellington, New Zealand and Toronto, Canada.

OUR MISSION

We are dedicated to creating and publishing high-quality comic serials and story collections, for print before anything else. We focus on working with the formalist aspects of comics creation—everything from gutters to the humble thought bubble.

Our number one goal is to put quality comics into the hands of our readers.


SUBMISSION RULES

We welcome submissions to Ink Vein Presents from dedicated and passionate comics creators with a love for the form.

Our magazine is printed at 6.63x10.25”, or roughly 168x260mm, with quarter-inch (6.5mm) bleeds and a minimum DPI of 300. Your submission must fit these dimensions.

✔ We are looking for…

• Interesting original comic work in black and white
• Essays about comics, both about specific series and the medium overall
• Stand-alone, full-page artwork for interior covers

✘ We are not looking for…

• Work explicitly based on existing properties
• Unfinished work
• Comics made in color, turned black and white
