9.2.05 Commercial Suicide 3.0

As with most great journeys of the human spirit, it began in the pub. "Let's do a 'zine for Bristol!" said Sick Tim. "Let's make it really, really sick, and really funny!" "Capital idea!" we all said. Somehow Kieron Gillen and I ended up organising it.

And now we are three. Nobody is more amazed than us. COMMERCIAL SUICIDE is now opening submissions for its bumper third issue, to be launched at the UK's Bristol con in May. The 'zine, perfect for fans of SOUTH PARK, THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN, VIZ (UK) or simply offending passing elderly relations, COMMERCIAL SUICIDE 2.0 featured such socially irredeemable strips as "The New Adventures of Sigmund Freud" by Juan Arteaga and Felipe Sobreiro; "Daisy Cashes In" by Alex de Campi; and "Richie Clatt: Internet Twat" by Viktor Smart.

"While there may be more artistically minded anthologies in the world, we're the only one which features Sigmund Freud in S&M gear fighting international terrorism with only radical psychoanalysis and martial arts." Co-tyrant Kieron Gillen effuses, "These things really matter".

COMMERCIAL SUICIDE accepts submissions from anyone and everyone, and chooses its scripts based purely on whether they make us laugh. We need writers to script us 1-8 page stories, and we need artists to draw them. We also need artists for the front and back covers. Deadline for scripts is March 30th; deadline for finished art May 1. Email me or join the discussion on the V if you are interested in being part of our brave, vile little 'zine.
