I really admire Samus Aran, because sometimes I too deal with challenges by curling up into a ball.

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.

If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

1. Artists used to be able to supplement their page rate a bit by selling the original art. Now that many are working digitally, that's not an option.
2. I think the average advance from a book publisher for a graphic novel is probably even worse than the page rate that monthly comics publishers pay

Last time I checked my current rate at one publisher was $70 less than my starting rate there almost 20 years ago, when accounting for inflation. It'll be even worse now.

FLIP has been out for several months now! It's a story about K-Pop fandom, being a 1st generation kid, friendship, and a being a Black girl who learns compassion for herself. It's an important story to share—I hope you enjoy reading it! ✨

Panels from GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN by Jadzia Axelrod, Rye Hickman and Jodie Troutman, featuring Galaxy and Argus facing down a giant turtle monster. A panel from HAWKGIRL: ONCE UPON A GALAXY by Jadzia Axelrod, Amancay Nahuelpan, Adriano Lucas, Alex Guimarães, Carrie Strachan, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, featuring Hawkgirl facing down a giant dragon, who says "BUT I CAN SEE YOU. I CAN SEE THE LIVES YOU'VE LIVED. THAT STORY IS DONE. YOU ARE NOT THE SUM OF WHAT HAS COME BEFORE, YOU ARE THE REMAINDER OF AN OVERZEALOUS UNIVERSE.

Tuesday Tip: Comic book scripts are conversations between the writer and the artist (with the editor eavesdropping). The comic book grows out of that conversation. So, write your script whatever damn way you want, provided it gives the artist the information they need to bring the story to life.

A few years ago I did a mash-up of Jules Feiffer's "Explainers" comics and STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE, mainly as an excuse to play in the form Feiffer had long perfected.
