DIRTY DIAMONDS ISSUE 10: DEATH
The FINAL issue of the anthology series
LIVE ON KICKSTARTER UNTIL FEBRUARY 14TH!
SUPPORT WOMEN IN COMICS!

Your favorite all-girl comic anthology is at it one last time with our newest Kickstarter, supporting the publication and artist payment for our TENTH and FINAL issue: DEATH.

Like all good things, Dirty Diamonds: an all-girl comic anthology must also come to an end. But we want to make sure we go out with a bang (never a whimper), so we've been working hard to put together our most fantastic issue yet!


Featuring the work of 70 creators, this issue of Dirty Diamonds highlights the multitude thoughts, fears, hopes, and experiences our contributors have around the most universal theme of them all: DEATH.

Read the unexpected, insightful, and soul-wrenching responses from today's contemporary female & femme comic creators and pre-order your copy of DEATH through our Kickstarter today!

As always, Dirty Diamonds knows the importance of PAYING women artists for their incredible work, but these books have always been a labor of love for us, so we rely on our Kickstarter supporters to help us make sure our creators receive the coin they deserve! Almost half of our initial goal goes directly towards paying our contributors!

SUPPORT OUR KICKSTARTER TODAY!

Also, don't forget to share, retweet, re-blog, re-squeeze, re-ply, re-WHATEVER all the fun and thrilling things we'll be posting throughout the campaign. JOIN US IN CELEBRATING THIS AMAZING FINAL BOOK AND SUPPORT WOMEN IN COMICS!

DIRTY DIAMONDS #9 is open for submissions!

We are looking for comic proposals for our next anthology around the theme of Being. We want comic creators to delve deep into what it means for them to exist, how they perceive and experience the world, what they believe their purpose is, and what has helped form them into the people they are.

Send us your ideas AND help us spread the word! (And yes, there will be a Kickstarter to support the book coming in Spring/Summer 2018.) All of the guidelines and the submission form are available on our Submit! page, so check out the details and send us your comic proposals!


Proposals are due by midnight on April 6th, 2018!

 


DIRTY DIAMONDS #8: Sex is now LIVE on Kickstarter until June 30th!

We asked female comic creators to tell us their thoughts behind the act of sex, and they delivered! Their stories are personal, powerful, real, raw, hilarious, ridiculous, and stunningly smart. Too often women are told how they should feel about their sexuality and what they should do with their bodies, and now more than ever we need women telling the world how they perceive, experience, and feel about sex!

Dirty Diamonds is an award-winning all-girl comic anthology that features the semi-autobiographical work of female comic creators from around the world. Each books focuses on a central theme, and for our eighth installment we've gathered mature comics from over 65 creators and artists from 10 different countries about sex!

The Kickstarter campaign aims to raise $14,000 to pay and support all of the women in the book, fund the publication costs, and get an enormous range of intelligent and important comics by women into as many hands as possible.


The Kickstarter ends on June 30th! Help us spread the word and consider grabbing a copy of the book for yourself, along with some great other rewards!

 


DIRTY DIAMONDS #8 is open for submissions!

We're looking for comic proposals about Sex. There are many comic anthologies that have fantastically handled the realm of smut, so we're looking to do something a little different. We are looking for comics that represent "the thoughts behind the act."

Now more than ever, we need women talking about what sex means to us, rather than being told what's okay to be done to us. Send us your ideas AND help us spread the word! (And yes, there will be a Kickstarter to support the book coming in June.) All of the guidelines and the submission form are available on our Submit! page, so check out the details and send us your comic proposals!


Proposals are due by midnight on February 28th, 2017!

 


DIRTY DIAMONDS #7 is open for submissions!

For this issue, we're accepting proposals for your comic submissions. All of the guidelines and the submission form are available on our Submit! page, so check out the details and send us your ideas!


Proposals are due March 1st, 2016!

 


It's finally time... the Kickstarter campaign to fund the publication of DIRTY DIAMONDS #6: Beauty has launched! From feelings about bodies and hair, to surgery scars and extra nipples, to gut bacteria and gargoyles, this anthology features over 50 comics from women around the world telling stories about what "beauty" means to them.

Please consider backing this project or helping to spread the word so we can make this amazing book a reality, AND so we can pay each of the contributors in the book! Actively supporting women making comics, what more could you want!
