write comic books

The writing comes easily enough, like mauling doughy midwestern tourists comes to the mighty polar bear. Illustrating, inking, lettering…maybe like writing a treatise on astrology as it influences sub-Saharan economies comes to the quickly humbled polar bear.

and pencil, color and/or ink them as well

In my recent holidays I’ve had something like a flash of inspiration, a strange idea that keeps buzzing around in my head: a comic book story, thought just for a superhero main character. I would like to write it down in english (but I need to improve my knowledge of this language, especially for the dialogues) and to send it to the Marvel Comics offices, just to try. In these days I’m trying to find the right character for this story, using the databased offered by the official site of the publisher, but there are many candidates. I will post here some other entries when the project will go on.

Comics are made to be fun and easy, and yet they are fairly excrutiating to create.

And as a writer they can be even tougher, because how do you “break in” to such a niche industry? The answer is to find an artist you can trust and simply give it a go.

Don’t have an artist on-hand? (for shame) Visit comic conventions, or sites. They are filled with tons of talented artists. Or there are art schools or colleges. Create a free bulletin board posting. How about hiring your own? Sites like elance.com make it a very affordable idea.

Or draw away regardless of your skill. I know that this may not be your thing, but if you can inspire an artist to join your cause it will be worth it. Plus, it shows you mean business and aren’t blowing smoke. This is how the underground comic artist Robert Crumb began.

What is the worst that could happen?

Good luck!
