SEEKING CEO ASSISTANT, BITCHIN’ INTERNS, CRYPTO & METAVERSE NINJAS, 3D PRINT EXPERTS
BLAYLOCK COMICS is Chicago’s new central HQ for author, artist, publisher, and all around comic book industry veteran Josh Blaylock’s family of pop culture companies. Those include:
Devil’s Due Comics – Chicago’s own international comic book publisher since 2001 – www.DevilsDue.net
PopCultivator – An incubator developing brand new comic book projects, ranging from kids graphic novels to edgy sci-fi thrillers
YAY! Comics – the first truly native Web 3.0 home for all things comic books, launching this Summer. Releasing NFT collectibles, art drops, social tokens, and more – www.YAYComics.io
NEEDS – seeking a mix of for-hire contractors and part-time interns
In-house office assistant – general upkeep and assistant to CEO
We need someone to help fulfill web store and Kickstarter orders
We’re looking for like-minded crypto/NFT/Web 3 enthusiasts keeping up with the latest trends.
Oh, and we could really use some help with building up our presence in the metaverse, like Cryptovoxels and Decentraland.
This is a studio with a WIDE spectrum of roles. We all wear different hats. Our staff is semi-remote, split between Chicago & Los Angeles. Any random day can involve:
Marketing & PR brainstorms
Social Media maintenance
Basic office admin work – arranging schedules in iCal, setting up zoom meetings, etc.
Graphic design assistance – formatting files, naming incoming art files properly, organizing dropbox library
Planning for / attending comic-cons or crypto cons
Preparing presentations for outside corporate client gigs (toy companies, music festivals, crypto DAOs)
Slugging comic boxes from the from the loading dock to the office on occasion (a right of passage)
Keeping things in order while Josh goes off to hide somewhere to write
Curating meet-ups at the office for after-hour events
Drinking lots of really good coffee. Not ‘cause we’re exhausted, but just because it tastes so good.
We’re seeking self-starting, creative people who “get” it. We are seeking like-minded people who come from our “worlds.”
We’re quick to joke around and not take ourselves too seriously, but we DO take our work seriously. Maintaining the right culture is of utmost importance. Which leads us to our questionnaire. It’s totally unlike any job / intern application you’ve ever answered before, yet it’s how literally almost everyone in the company was hired, so we must be on to something.

MORE ABOUT BLAYLOCK COMICS:
Collectively, the Blaylock Comics companies publish comic books throughout the English speaking world, responsible for such recent hits as Trailer Park Boys: Get a F’ing Comic and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: New Party, Who Dis?, and is historically known for kicking off the first ever 1980s retro boom in comics, bringing old properties back to life from G.I. Joe to Voltron. A trend that’s still going hard today, even spilling over into influencing Hollywood. Overall we’ve published something like 1000 comics and worked with something like fifty pop culture properties, celebrities and musicians. Currently Josh Blaylock’s comic series Mercy Sparx is in development as a major motion picture with MGM Studios.
We sell our comics through all of the major comic shops and book stores via distributors, but are also major proponents of Kickstarter and engaging with our fanbases directly. Pre-Covid we did about 10 conventions a year, and Josh was crazy enough to even tour 40 cities in 2015.
In 2018 Blaylock Comics jumped feet first into the world of crypto and blockchain with The Bitcoin Comic Handbook, and we are now aggressively moving into the world of “Web 3” – an exciting new world that is rapidly evolving the collector and pop culture fan experience (not to mention changing the world in a major way far beyond the superficial world of entertainment).
