But it's never been easier to make comics." <br /><br />Print on Demand (POD) publishing works well for people just starting out, and many local comic shops have a section for local comics. The web is a fantastic place to put work and get feedback / a fanbase for a particular property. I know a lot of people who started that way (The Dreamer, Love and Capes, Witch Doctor, etc). <br /><br />The point here is to make comics. It's the only way you're going to, well...make comics. ;)TrevorAMuellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267880068048586333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004829893058943314.post-59792383925356495742012-01-17T10:41:41.547-08:002012-01-17T10:41:41.547-08:00This is fantastic, and actually just what I've...This is fantastic, and actually just what I've been thinking of. I've been looking at Image Comics (to answer Tom's question of where to publish) because they publish original work, not licenses. But I'm so far off from preparing that finished comic at this point that it's still a pipe dream for me. But hopefully one day, because I have a kick-ass idea that I would love to see drawn and printed. Thanks for the fantastic advice, JT! Now I know that this is the exact way to go, because this is what I was already looking into!<br /><br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114258667664406545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004829893058943314.post-82798782359880201102012-01-16T07:03:50.695-08:002012-01-16T07:03:50.695-08:00Great article!

I would only make one further comment about working with an artist. If you do decide, like me, to hire an artist for your project-DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE! Pay only once the work is completed or you will never see a finished product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004829893058943314.post-39996226434278581692012-01-16T03:37:56.135-08:002012-01-16T03:37:56.135-08:00Guess this is just a good place to look for people...Guess this is just a good place to look for people as I am trying to break into the business.<br /><br />I am currently writing a oneshot called 'What if Dracula Witnessed a Rape?' and I am searching for a penciler, an inker, a colorist and a letterer.<br /><br />Contact me at; inteJimmyFerm@gmail.comJimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139702211173426444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004829893058943314.post-56891613287617776622012-01-15T23:19:44.682-08:002012-01-15T23:19:44.682-08:00My question JT is who to get it published by?
Wou...My question JT is who to get it published by?<br /><br />Would companies and editors look at self published work? Or does it have to be a semi-notable publication? Anyone can go through and create a three issue arc and get one hundred prints of it with their own faux publishing title.<br /><br />I've had a good piece of property I feel that I've worked on for a couple years now that is pretty laid out in my head. Characters, the world, the events of past and future. I've worked with an artist I went to college with to get some concept sketches down (who flaked on me before I finished scripting the first ish). Basically what I'm saying is it if I get a new artist and get the ball rolling, how difficult is that initial publication and who to get published by?
