Super Simple Comics

A format built for the one-person studio.

Traditional comics were designed for studios. Writers, pencilers, inkers, colorists, letterers, an assembly line built to produce 22 pages of dense panel grids on a monthly deadline. That system works when you have a team.

Most of us don't have a team.

​

SSC, Super Simple Comics is a format designed from the ground up for the solo creator. Fewer panels. Larger images. Stories told in bold, breathing art rather than crowded grids.

 

Each page is composed to stand on its own, something worth framing, not just turning.

 

The Guidelines:

• 12–16 pages per issue

• 3 panels maximum per page

• At least one full-page image per issue

• Every panel earns its space

• ​

That's it. Simple enough to finish. Demanding enough to matter.

​

Why It Exists:

RIME was the reason. I had a story worth telling and art worth showing but the traditional format was eating both alive. SSC came out of necessity, and the first issue proved the concept. The format serves the work. The work gets finished.

​

For Other Artists:

SSC is open. If you're a solo creator who's watched a project die somewhere around page 8, this format is for you. Adopt it. Publish under it. The only requirement is the rules above and the honesty to say: I made this myself.
