Summit Comics announces the Winners of its Artist Talent Search

Summit Comics Talent Search 2025

Four more creatives are being added to the Summit Comics umbrella as a result of the publisher’s first-ever talent search. Just weeks after the company unveiled two winners of the writer’s portion of the contest, two artists and two colorists have also been crowned from a field of over 50 submissions.

Andres Esparza and Jay Zi have been named as the victors for the artist’s portion, each submitting their vision for Grymstone, a short written by fellow talent search winner Scott Alan Gregory. Zi will be finishing the Grymstone story while Esparza will work with Summit Editor-in-Chief Devin Arscott on a new Noir short for Summit: Pinnacle #1, which heads to Kickstarter in January.

For the colorists portion, Daniele Caramanico and Diego Souza were selected as the winners for the category.

Esparza, Zi, Caramanico, and Souza join Gregory and Jimmy Gaspero as the first class to join Summit through its annual talent search. That search will continue with Part Three, focusing on letterers looking for their next gig. More information on how to participate on that will be available in the coming days.
