Greetings, Everyone! I’m Scott Story, artist on Johnny Saturn, and I am super proud to announce the opening of Collective of Heroes, a superhero webcomic collective. I’m joined in this by Arne Schulenberg (Union of Heroes) and Scott Austin (Heroes Inc.) I consider Scott and Arne to be my peers, so that makes it doubly exciting! We will soon be adding up to five more webcomics into the group.
Hi, Folks! Now it’s time to fill out your trade paperback’s contents. It may seem a little unfair, because you’ve already spent the time to get all those comics created, but these are some of the considerations you need to take into account:
So, you are ready to collect your comic into a trade paperback.
Hi, Folks—Scott Story here. I was going to write today about preparing your comics for a trade-paperback collection. Maybe I will tomorrow. Today, I’m going to write about a subject much closer to the heart: Fine Art vs. Illustration.
When I got into comics, I figured that I knew how to write and draw comics pretty well—I had years of print comics under my belt, after all. But, I was wrong, because presenting a long-form comic on the web calls some special considerations into account.
Hi, Folks—Scott Story here. You may know my work from “Johnny Saturn,” and if not I invite you to visit and check it out. Before I got into webcomics, I worked for a bunch of different print publishers, such as Amp Comics, Arrow Comics, Blue Line Productions, Digital Webbing Presents, Image Comics, Nifty Comics, Powerful Press, Rogue Wolf Entertainment, and Rorschach Entertainment. "Johnny Saturn" has been used as prop on a Nickelodian show, been reviewed in the "Comics Buyers Guide," and won two awards (1st and 3rd, respectfully) in the Webcomic Readers Choice Awards.
Like many other long-form adventure webcomics, Johnny Saturn began as a print comic. I make a point of reusing my art as often as I can, so Johnny Saturn began running on Graphic Smash even before the print version hit the shelves. Anyway, with its origins in print, I originally formatted it in full page form on the web and presented one page a week.Â
When you create a webcomic, presumably one of your goals is to get lots of people to read it. Even if you are one of those creative purists who claims that “I’m cool, as long as at least one person gets it,†you still have to get your comic in front of that one right person. You already know that people with similar interests will most likely enjoy your webcomic, but how are you going to reach them?
Hi, All–Special thanks to Xaviar for asking me to guest blog this week! Thanks also to Tim Demeter for suggesting me to Xaviar. First up, a short introduction to why I’m doing what I do:
