Welcome to Unscrewed

"Individually, we call ourselves 'creators'; authors, pencillers, inkers, painters, colorists, letterers. Today, we stand together against the heinous actions of unscrupulous individuals. There is no more 'individually'. We are all truly 'creators'."

Welcome to Unscrewed

Unscrewed! is a group of creators brought together in response to the reprehensible actions of some industry individuals.  You are not required to have been "screwed" by any unscrupulous publisher to participate in the project.  You are required to feel compassion for those who have been and stand against this kind of behavior in the comics industry.

Please read our Letter to Comics Professionals.

We've added a Ratings & Reviews Section. Please submit comments about any publishers of which you have personal professional knowledge.

Colleen Doran did a Resources for Creators panel at SDCC explaining how creative professionals can get legal, financial, and housing assistance.  Listen to the recording here.

Use PayPal to donate $10.00 to Unscrewed! to help creators wronged by unscrupulous publishers.

 Shocker Toys: the LitG thread  

Shocker Toys was recently the topic of discussion at the Lying in the Gutters forum at CBR, until CBR owner and President Jonah Weiland received an angry and abusive, profanity-ridden phone call from Shocker's CEO, Geoff Beckett. After investigating the situation and consulting his attorney, Weiland decided to "Soft-delete" the thread (this means that the thread, while no longer publicly available, is still on the server and may be accessed if needed for legal purposes).

Before removing the thread from public view, Weiland gave UNSCREWED permission to copy the content and post it here as a public record.
