Product Description

Product Description
For years young, creative men and women have dreamed about making a living from their comic strips. But until recently their only avenue of success was through a syndicate or publisher. Now more and more cartoonists are doing it on their own and self-publishing their comic strips on the web. With the right amount of work, knowledge, and luck, so, too, can you. Scott Kurtz and Kristopher Straub offer their advice on how to create compelling characters, develop a solid comic strip, build a website, forge a community, and start earning money from your Webcomic without having to sell your soul. Written by the Eisner award winning cartoonist behind PVP, Scott Kurtz! PvP received 1.3 Million unique page views in Q1 2007 and averages 150k-200k per day!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to the business side of web comics, 4 April 2009
By N. Rossis (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In both my capacities as web developer and avid comics fan, I have been interested in finding out more about the various techniques used by comic creators.

This book is written by four actual web comics artists who have managed the Holy Grail of most comic book artists: to make a living out of their art! This business-like approach to web comics is a common thread throughout the book, whether it discusses invoicing and merchandising or comic panels. Therefore, it can be invaluable to anyone interested in working professionally as a comic artist.

Each of the artists develops a section of the book, with the others adding their comments and observations. It is well-written and easily read, and great at presenting information that can seem obscure to a non-accountant in an easily comprehensible light.

However, if you are interested in an A to Z tutorial on how to make a comic from scratch, you'd better go for "Webcomics: Tools and Techniques for Digital Cartooning", which is more artistic and less business-like in its approach to the subject. Since I'm not planning on giving up my day job, I admit I found it more interesting.

Still, I found "Webcomics" to be quite interesting and I would recommend it to anyone looking to an honest introduction to working professionally as a comic artist.
