Top Cow Talent Hunt 2026 - Your Career In Comics Starts Here

The Opportunity

Top Cow is searching for one previously unpublished artist whose work captures the tone, mythology, and energy of Witchblade (2024) and The Darkness (2025).

The selected artist will receive paid professional opportunities with Top Cow Productions, Inc. in 2027/2028, creating a direct pathway from emerging talent to published professional.

"This is not a portfolio review or speculative contest—it is a genuine chance to launch a career in professional comics. If you’re chosen, it’s because we see real potential and want to work with you as a professional".
— Matt Hawkins, President of Top Cow
