Comp Corner February 2012

What’s next, I hear you become vaguely curious about? Well, if all goes to plan we might be featuring a few comic book related items in the next issue. So, inspired by that, we want you to send us an origin story.

And by story I mean less than 100 words, of course (we’re a small corner and like it that way). What we’re looking for is a concise, potted history of a character, prior to the start of the story you want to tell about them: their origin.

They don’t have to be a superhero, don’t worry (can be if you want, mind). The challenge is, can you explain what brought a character to the point where their story can actually begin to be told? In 100 words or less? It’s a birth of a hero/protagonist/antagonist/supporting character/comic relief type thing. Give it a try.

Send entries in the body of an email to: danny@wordswithjam.co.uk before the 5th of March 2012.

Ah, but are there prizes, I hear you become slightly more curious about? Well, duh! We’ve got either two or three copies (we haven’t got them yet so we’re not sure how many) of Then by our cover author Julie Myerson to give away.

Excelsior!
