Deepest Part of the Ocean

Our one-page comics descend to the ocean’s darkest depths — where sunlight fades, pressure rises, and strange, uncharted wonders await. From bioluminescent creatures to lost civilizations, and from eerie isolation to awe-inspiring discovery, these stories explore what lies beneath the surface of both the sea and the human spirit. Mysterious, haunting, and sometimes beautiful, each tale dares to ask: what’s waiting in the deep when no one’s watching? Hold your breath and dive in — The Comic Jam is going deep.

Patrick Hicks lives in Minnesota and has been writing since that time he shattered his leg in 7th grade. He’s written short stories, comics, and once spent a year interviewing a former Mafia Made Man and writing a novel of his life (seriously). Has been known to drop everything and start structuring a new story at all hours of the night. He loves discussing outlines and story structure and can be reached on https://www.instagram.com/patrickhickspy/

Jack Van Thomme illustrates comics and pitches in when he can. You can see the things he likes to draw and read the things he likes to talk about on Twitter and Instagram @Real_JackVT https://www.instagram.com/real_jackvt/

BM “BearClaw” is a writer and artist just passing through and trying to write stories that he finds interesting. While he likes having a darker bend to most of his works, he s also capable of writing and drawing somewhat on the softer side.

Michael Howe is a mainly-digital artist living in Colorado, who crafts characters and stories with heart, trying to help people feel adventure and wonder, generally through fantasy art of some kind. Also, he like trains. And animals. His Twitter and Instagram are both @MichaelHoweArts

JJ Meyer went from the military to film school to corporate marketing. Somewhere along the way he got a spouse and five kids…. He loves stories, restaurants with personality, hockey, and a good cup of black coffee.

Aaron Brown is fully operational and all of his circuits are functioning perfectly. Living in Massachusetts he is the creator of #IOTCOMIC and the fortune telling comic Casbah The Rock. Caricaturist and solid band name inventor. Find his work at https://www.frogking.art/

Kevin D. Lintz is a comic book letterer, writer, and editor. He learned his skills in a Comics Experience class and honed them on the mean streets of his all-ages comic book, Team SLUG. He startles his family by making sound effect noises out loud to try and translate them into written words. He has even watched “Helvetica”, the full-length feature movie about the font Helvetica. https://lintzlettering.com/
