What is verum/vitae?
The comic anthology verum/vitae is an upcoming curated series created and published by 7000 BC, a collective dedicated to helping both new and veteran artists break into the comics scene through collaboration and education. With stories and art that exemplify the best of what New Mexico's independent comic artists can produce, verum/vitae hopes to provide a platform for comic artists to share their talents with audiences in both print and digital form.
In addition, through the collection of in-progress stages of artwork from contributing artists, 7000 BC aims to provide new and budding creators with a behind-the-scenes view into the creative process of writing, producing, and publishing comics in the modern print and digital era.

Although we would like to include everyone that submits their comics to verum/vitae, space will be limited. We are curating the series for the inclusion of the best submissions from our Open Call, as well as content provided by invited guest contributors from the New Mexico comics community. But if your comic doesn't make it into verum/vitae, don't fret! 7000 BC also publishes string which is open to any and all comics contributions!
