''Negative Burn'' is a black-and-white anthology comic book published beginning in 1993 by Caliber Press, and subsequently by Image Comics and Desperado Publishing. Edited by Joe Pruett, ''Negative Burn'' is noted for its eclectic range of genres, mixture of established comics veterans and new talents, and promotion of creative experimentation. ==Publication history== The first volume of ''Negative Burn'' ended with issue 50 in 1997. Revived by Image and Desperado in 2005 with two seasonal specials, ''Negative Burn'' returned to a monthly format in 2006. The first eleven issues of the new volume were published by Image; the title is now exclusively published by Desperado. A typical issue of ''Negative Burn'' might include a number of stand-alone stories; a new chapter of a longer, serialized piece; recurring features such as Brian Bolland’s “Mr. Mamoulian”; and a sketchbook section. The sketchbook featured studies, rough drawings, and never-before-seen artwork by a single illustrator. Artists such as Dave Dorman, Michael William Kaluta, David Mazzucchelli, Terry Moore, P. Craig Russell, Greg Ruth, Charles Vess, and even Neil Gaiman have been featured in the sketchbook section. Desperado Publisher Pruett views the new incarnation of ''Negative Burn'' is a potential launching pad for new creators: "I’m offering ''Negative Burn'' as a way for a new creator to break in with us. If a creator shows promise and potential with his/her short story contributions then I might try to find them work with an already established creator or title in our library of titles, such as Dalibor Talajic and Federico Dallocchio with ''Deadworld'' and Will Volley with ''Antoine Sharp''. I believe there needs to be an outlet for new talent . . . and () will try to do what I can to help them." Regarding ''Negative Burns current sales, Pruett said "it has the advantage of being a well-known commodity from it’s long run in the 90’s, but even then it suffers from the consistent month-to-month drop in sales that is the rule of thumb in the marketplace. As long as we can break even with ''Negative Burn'' I’ll keep it going."〔 The title was scheduled to return for a third time, as a yearly, in 2009 from Desperado〔(Diamond Comic Distributors 2009 August order form ) at a Diamond Comic Distributors website.
