Comics are one of the most thriving industries in pop culture, and also the most creative (maybe I'm biased). However you slice it, people seem to really enjoy working in comics - and not just as a comics creator. We often get approached online and in-person asking about openings and general job prospects in the multi-faceted medium of comics, so I'm now finally (finally!) putting down all the job openings we know of in and around the comics industry.

This outlines comic jobs at publishers, as well as at distributors, retailers, art agencies, and other places. Please look at the listings themselves to discern key details on the job; when possible, we'll list whether it requires you to live in a certain place, but again, refer to the job listing itself as the best source of that information. 

And if there's a job you know of in comics, tell us in the comments, and we'll add it forthwith!
