"APB: Artists against Police Brutality is a comic book
anthology with one primary goal: show pictures and tell stories that get people
talking. We are looking for artists across the disciplines to lend their
talents and critical eye for this artistic examination of the US justice system
and its treatment of communities of color. We are looking for personal stories,
biographies, sociopolitical and historical analysis that shed a light on shared
experiences across these communities, not just to act as an echo chamber, but
to be used to change minds outside of these communities.
"APB will be a black and white book that collects these stories. While primarily a comic book project, we will also consider following: One- and two-row comic strips , Pin-ups and spot illustrations Prose stories (whatever the genre; up to 1,500 words) and analytical essays (personal, sociopolitical, historical; up to 2,000 words).
"The main goal is to encourage people to talk about the persistent problems facing this country in terms of race and the justice system in an accessible and powerful medium.
APB: Artists against Police Brutality will be edited by Bill Campbell (Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond), John Jennings (The Blacker the Ink: Constructions of a Black Identity in Comics and Sequential Art), and Jason Rodriguez (Colonial Comics: New England, 1620-1750) and will be published by Rosarium Publishing.
