Outstanding Young Latinx Comics Creators | 2022 Submissions

The Outstanding Young Latinx Comics Creators (OYLCC) is a digital comic book anthology to highlight the works of emerging Latinx comic book creators and help pave the way for up-and-coming sequential artists.  The anthology welcomes original comic book content – ranging from cartoons and comic strips to comic book short stories – from young Latinx creators who are seeking to make their mark.  

The Outstanding Young Latinx Comics Creators anthology is welcoming of all individuals and groups, with mindfulness towards making publishing more equitable for folx whose identities reflect disabilities, learning styles, lived experiences, race/ethnicity, age, class, gender, sexual orientation, and country of origin, as well as cultural, political, religious, and other affiliations.  Accommodations are available for any creators requiring assistance with the submission process.  Please contact OYLCCanthology (at) gmail (dot) com for assistance.

Creators will be notified in July 2022 if their submission has been accepted for inclusion in the 2022 OYLCC edition.

The 2022 OYLCC anthology will be published by Fanbase Press – in association with Eisner Award-winning writer/professor Frederick Luis Aldama (Jacob & Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at UT Austin) and Emmy Award-winning writer/producer/director Peter Murrieta [Wizards of Waverly Place (Disney Channel), Mr. Iglesias (Netflix), Rafael Garcia: Henchman (comic book with Starburns)] to various digital platforms, including Hoopla, Comics Plus, and Kindle, in January 2023.
