MARVEL COMICS SUMMER INTERNSHIPS (UNPAID)

Marvel’s Internship Program is offered to students who are currently enrolled in college full-time. Internships run year-round on a semester-to-semester basis (Fall, Spring and Summer).
Marvel offers several different kinds of internships, some you wouldn’t expect. Like most businesses we need different departments to keep the old ship going full steam ahead, and we encourage students to apply to more than one department if they feel they have the skills that fit the bill.

Production (A.K.A. The Bullpen):

So you say you like to multitask? The type who’s into working independently? And you want to obtain firsthand knowledge regarding the physical production of a comic book? Well, interning in this department really gives you a firsthand look at the nitty-gritty of how comic books get from just being separate art, color, and lettering files and well on their way to being physical copies you can actually hold in your hands! You’ll be asked to scan original art or create print-ready PDF files, so Mac computer skills are key here, folks! Keep in mind that you’ll also need to have a working knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Familiarity with Marvel’s characters and comics in general is extremely beneficial!
