WRITERS UNITE: WRITING AND PITCHING COMIC STORIES
Comics have grabbed the imagination of the pop culture-loving public all over again and publishers are looking for fresh ideas from a new generation of talent. Listen closely as Charles Soule (Letter 44, Daredevil) and Jim Zub (Wayward, Samurai Jack) discuss writing comics and pitching their work to publishers, along with comic writing techniques and amusing anecdotes.
Prestigious book review site Kirkus reviews WAYWARD Deluxe: Book One and gives it a 9/10!
“Wayward explores the fantastical and supernatural, but is rooted in real human experience (through the eyes of teenage outsiders), in a real place, and using real cultural touchstones and histories. Also, very importantly, this story is not exoticizing or appropriative of Japanese culture or setting. I cannot stress how important this is, as well as the level of care Zub imbues in his storytelling and character arcs.”
