“What is Zuda Comics? That’s a great question. The short answer is that it’s an all-new line of Web Comics. The longer answer is that Zuda Comics are whatever you make of them.” DC Comics

Zuda Comics is DC Comics’ webcomics division. The creation of this division was announced in press release on July 9 2007 and the first line-up went live October 30th. Anyone can submit an eight screen sample and each month 10 of these are picked and put up for a vote. The monthly vote winners and up to six “instant winners” will each get a year’s contract to produce webcomics for Zuda.
High Moon author, David Gallaher, in an interview with Comics Worth Reading gave the following advice to future Zuda creators, “with only eight screens to tell your story, you need to be ready to be awesome right out of the gate. So, give it your all and make sure your submission is the best that you can make it. And whether you win or lose, you’ll already be in better shape than you were before you submitted, because you’ve cultivated an audience that you didn’t have before.”
Although creators were solicited for the first round of the competition due to the desire to have content available on the day of the site’s launch, the later competitors and Instant Winners were all chosen from user submitted comics.
