Using MakingComics.com


I created MakingComics.com with a group of my friends to be an artistic resource for comic creators at every stage of the comic creation process. MakingComics.com is a bit overwhelming at first. We're working on a new design of it, but what I'd like you to highlight when you go there are a couple different things. The first thing is, check out the Gutter Talk podcast. Adam Greenfield actually interviews comic creators from all over the world. And we have hundreds of podcasts with the top people within the industry. Then I would have you check out the MakingComics underdog community. That's where, as a creator, as you start creating more and more comics, you can join a cadre of people that are creating together. It's a really great place full of positivity, fun, and encouragement for comic book creators.


Next, I'd go back to the home page and click on one of the links on the front. Mostly you should be focusing on the making column on the far left. This column's going to have a lot of resources for where you're at in the comic creation process. As you're trying to figure out about the theory, and distribution and marketing aspects of it, you can check out the distribution and more. But for now, I'd check out just the making. When you go into one of those sections, you're going to see three columns. The first column on the left is going to be MakingComics.com's specific articles. These are articles that we've curated in the comic creation process that's related to that field. In the middle column, you're going to see links that go offsite. These links are ones that we felt are actually kind of important, but they're not content that we originally created. In the right, you'll see a key that talks about what the rating of each one is. The one means that it's a really important piece of information that we want you to look at. And all the way to four, which means, eh, you don't really need to look at that but it'd be kind of cool. So, what'd we like you to do, is go to MakingComics.com, press a bunch of buttons, see what you think, let me know what you think, and yeah, have a great time.
