2nd Column Up Today

Welcome to all who have navigated over here from Newsarama. Today the 2nd Comic Book Maker column is up and also is an interview I recently did last week with Reggie Hudlin on the new Black Panther series. Both links can be found (shortly) over on the right of this page.

Read over some of the stuff posted in the last week, including an interview with Steve Purcell!

I talked with Ed Dukeshire from Digital Webbing for this most recent column and, while nearly all of what he said is found in the column, I wanted to post the very, very short interview here also. I'll be continuing to post full interviews as columns come out.

Without further delay:

RYAN MCLELLAND: About how many postings do you get in your talent search classifieds a month?

ED DUKESHIRE: Roughly 200-300 per month. A high percentage of those are ads seeking pencillers.

RM: Do you often here about projects coming to fruition thanks to DW's classifieds?

ED: Absolutely... I hear about talent search gigs all the time. I've actually had a couple pros ask me to remove their ads after a day or two because response to their ads is too much for their email to handle. The forums here also generate enough traffic so creators hook up in there too. Dan Taylor (Hero Happy Hour) found Chris Fason through Digital Webbing. A few dozen writers find artists and colorist for Digital Webbing Presents stories all the time.

Coming up this week: How to write REALLY short stories (or at least the way I do it) and a talk with Mike Hall, the Managing Editor of Ape Comics, about what goes into publishing an anthology.
