Think you have the next great idea for a comic book in your head?
Having trouble getting it out of your head and onto paper?
Paper?
Sorry, that was so "Silver Age" of me.
Well if you are having those problems and live in or near Los Angeles, California, this may be your answer.....
David Seidman (comics writer, consultant, and publicist) is having a seminar at Blankspaces to teach you how to get your work out there.
David was one of the founders of Disney Comics, and as the company's senior editor, he specialized in discovering new talent.
He has taught comic book writing at UCLA, marketed comics and graphic novels for Claypool Comics and NBM Publishing.
You can learn more about the seminar and his follow up course on Comic Book and Graphic Novel Writing here.
But hurry, the Seminar is on April 1.

Why Do Comic Book Readers Exist?
Why Do Comic Book Readers Exist?:
The main challenge of self publishers in the comic book industry is to understand that the art component is but a piece of the action. Currently, the perspective most self publishers, and even established ones have is a focus on products alone and not marketing. These publishers and creators believe that all that is required to sell a comic book is a product."

Young guns: Today's video games are yesterday's comics
Young guns: Today's video games are yesterday's comics
By Vanessa Legatt
Remember comic books? Those flimsy pages kept together with staples (that seemed to poke you no matter how careful you were when reading them) are a bit more than a seemingly overrated pastime for kids.
During the past few decades, major comic books such as Superman and Spider-Man have been made into major motion pictures. These stories of the strangely costumed and extremely heroic saving the day over and over again never seem to get old. This, believe it or not, is the basis of my film studies class.
Well, not the complete basis.
We look at the evolution of comics in America from the 1930s to present and whether the shift to the big screen does them any justice.
What has this got to do with anything? Stay with me and you will see history may be repeating itself.
I was interested in last week's discussion about the comic book controversy in the 1950s.
I had no idea this inexpensive form of entertainment had almost faced extinction.
Apparently some publishers' work included inappropriately dressed women and too many randomly dismembered body parts. With these books marketed toward a younger readership, who could blame adults for being a bit worried?
