Private: Our Mission

Chandra Free and Stephen Emond are co-creators of Machina Corpse. Both come from a background of comics and graphic novels, having worked in the industry since the mid-2000’s.

Machina Corpse aims be home to all manners of spooky, odd, and the nontraditional, a home for passion projects of the dark weirdos of the world. Inclusivity is a priority, and passion a must. We plan to publish graphic novels that pay a page rate, with transparency in the process.

Free and Emond will release the initial launch projects, each working on a full graphic novel specifically for Machina Corpse. A preview of these first comics will be released this fall, with background info, behind the scenes work and more on Machina Corpse and our plans for the future. We plan to fund these first projects through Kickstarter, with our first campaign launching very shortly!

We want to create a home and community for the unusual content we love, to open Machina Corpse and invite fellow creators with odd and dark stories floating around in their heads, to take chances and show there’s a lot of us out there drawn to these kinds of stories, that there is a market and money to be made with horror stories, singular visions and ideas that get pushed to the side for being just a little too weird.

Machina Corpse is a work in progress, please join us on our journey by leaving an email address and stay tuned for more news in the very near future!
