Welcome to Comics Village

Warning! This site has a pretty hands off editorial approach. In the Village, you may well experience undiluted opinions, bad language, foul smells and unusually cruel haircuts. If you are in any way offended by this sort of thing, back off now! Yes, you! Conservatives, Republicans or the fascist "mainstream" readers at the back - walk away and don't look back.

So you think you can write? Well, writey boy, how about it? Want to test your writing mettle by writing for Comics Village? Well? Do you? Register with this website (getting through the process is the first test) then go here to email us your ideas and we'll get back to you as soon as we've finished laughing.
