The Comics Reporter. Home > All About Comics Getting Published -- Comic Booksposted October 10, 2004 Comic book companies fall into two camps. Several companies use talent to work on books they put together in-house in the service of licensed properties. This is the assembly-line way of doing comics most Americans think of as standard comic book production, where various people take on specific tasks assigned to them. Marvel hires outside contractors to write and draw the various Spider-Man books, for instance; ditto DC and Superman. Those companies pay their creators a page rate and if the book sells enough copies, there is generally a royalties program that kicks in. Other comic book companies operate more like book publishers. Some companies have lines they service that involved licensed properties and others that are brought to them by the talent, mixing the two models. I sound silly saying this, but you should think about gearing your submission towards which area of comics you'd like to work.

Comic Book Diner Discusses Kickstarter » Comics Worth Reading. Wondering whether Kickstarter funding is right for you and your project? You may want to listen to this episode of the Comic Book Diner podcast, where they discuss their Kickstarter listing.
The CBD folks are attempting to raise $10,000 for a boxed set of three graphic novels, one by each creator in the group. At the time of this writing, they have 24 days to go, and they are almost a third of the way there. The money goes to designing and printing the volumes (since at least two of the books contain at least some material that’s already been released in comic periodical form). To get all three print books requires a $40 pledge, while to get the slipcased set, you have to pledge $50. I’m curious as to how readers think about pricing when it comes to Kickstarter. The podcast covers, in a conversational way, much of their thinking behind raising funds using this mechanism. PictureBox. Round Table Companies. Top Shelf Productions.
