Welcome to Beat Comics!

Beat Comics


It’s not that easy to define exactly what Beat Comics is … the simplest “box” we can put it into is possibly to explain what we hope Beat Comics can become:

Financially successful SA Comics with a pure entertainment focus. Nothing more, nothing less.

Beat Comics is plugged into the financial support and distribution infrastructure of Media 24 – thereby creating a situation where creatives can finally concentrate on creating and not get stuck in the thousands of problems associated with printing and distribution of comics in SA.

So, does Beat Comics hope to become the saviour publisher of all the unwanted ideas that are gathering dust in drawers all over SA? No. Initially we are working on 3 in-house projects that are all very diverse in content and style, and also two freelance projects with artists based in Johannesburg and Durban respectively. The projects that are in-studio are fiction projects with a local focus – so no superheroes (...yet! :-D - AC), but on the flipside also no soccer.

At this point we won’t be adding extra content but we are very happy to look at portfolios, so please feel free to contact us with any questions or to submit artwork.

Stick around – we guarantee it’s going to be interesting.
