Article Summary
Over in theConnecting Comic Book Writers and Artistsopen Facebook group , people were asked about pitching to Image Comics , the publishing house best live for Divine - owned work without taking any IP possession , put out titles such asSpawn , The Walking Dead , Youngblood , Saga , Savage Dragon , The Wicked + The Divine , WitchbladeandWanted . There were a muckle of mistaken laying claim lifted until monolithic - Verse founderKyle Higginspopped up with a lean of response . He write ;
A few other comic script creators added their take ;
Justin Jordan : They do blame up complete unknowns . It ’s just rare . Ask me how I know . You do n’t take a accomplished book for them to print it . It ’s a good theme to do so , though .
Keith Champagne : The only problem I have the few clip I ’ve pitched Image is wait 16 year for Eric to translate a verdict .
John Bivens : believe I might be one of a fistful that pitched on a Friday and was approved the next Monday as co - creator on my first Image series … I doubt that lightning will strike twice .
Keith Champagne : wow , that ’s nous bowl over !
John Bivens : My first signing I tell Phil Hester that and he looked at me like I had two heads .
Craig Taillefer : John Bivens that is profligate . My one and only sales talk to prototype was a mail package with three ego publish comic in it and if I remember right I got a write and mailed reply from Jim Valentino moderately quickly back . It may even have include the contract but it was a looooong fourth dimension ago . Hence mail .
I will add that Image Comics once published a funny I ’d written , Chase Variant , draw byBagwellandSaverio Tenuta . I sent the completed comic in , and a year subsequently , was told they would publish it … fifteen years after that ’s pretty much how things still work .
