Comics Are Hard
I have an enormous amount of respect for Dan Vado, the prez of Slave Labor Graphics. His most recent interview just increases my respect for him, because he speaks the truth. Go, look, this should be required reading for anyone wanting to work in comics in any capacity.
I fear most people won't pay attention to what Dan is saying in his interview, though he's dead on about everything. Far too many people are only interested in getting into the comics industry because they (mistakenly) believe it's some kind of fast-track to fame and fortune and lucrative movie, cartoon and toy option license deals. It is most definitely NOT. Make the comics because you love them and are compelled to tell your stories. Anything that comes of that is purely a bonus.
Speaking of comics, I need to get back to work. Two books to go in on Monday morning, first thing in the A.M. What is this "weekend" you people speak of?
