Draw a page for the 100th Issue of The Darkness comic!

Attention all artists, this one's for you! You could win a chance for a story you illustrated to appear in the 100th issue of The Darkness from Top Cow Productions. So if you're dream is to break-in with a major publisher, now's your chance. Keep reading. Or just head here for the entire breakdown of the contest. Act fast because the contest is almost over!!!

In the new game, "The Darkness II" by 2k Games, it's been two years since Jackie Estacado took his revenge on those who killed his girlfriend and became the Don of a New York crime family. A strange and terrible power called The Darkness has remained locked tightly inside him, but now it's ready to come out once again.

Let your own inner demons out to play and join Jackie in his brutal internal battle against The Darkness by drawing a
three-panel comic using the script created by Top Cow writers.

Become a pro by winning and have your three-panel comic published in the 100th issue of The Darkness comic.
