A Comic Creator in the
Amateur Spotlight!

A comic creator is one who creates comics (duh)! There are professionals and amateurs. I am attempting to set up a few pages where amateur comic book creators can show their wares and hopefully, receive back comments.

Here is Wikipedia’s synopsis of a comic creator:

“A comic book creator is any one of a number of people working to create a comic book or graphic novel. The production of a comic book by one of the major comic book companies in the U.S. can involve a writer, a penciller, an inker, a colorist, and a letterer, typically overseen by an editor.

Depending on the type of production, the different roles can be taken on by different persons:

In most alternative and small press comics, the same person will write and illustrate, although it is still common for a separate person to produce the color separations, and sometimes the lettering.

Within the major US comic book publishing companies, (for example, DC Comics and Marvel Comics), a different person is generally assigned to each task, although exceptions - particularly in writing/penciling or penciling/inking - do occur.”

Now enters the amateur comic creator. From time to time, I am contacted by individuals who would like some exposure of their creations on my site. I am now attempting to add some pages to accommodate them. The following pages will evolve with time and content. My first inclusion will be a comic by Caesar.

Caesar is a hard working (2 jobs) gent from Florida. He has bent interested in becoming a comic book creator for a couple of years and would like to do it professionally at some point. I do know this though. Comic book creation is a tough competitive business to make much money in directly. But I sure give those who want to try, great kudos for the attempt.

He sent me a comic book idea of his own and his own art work and writing. I have uploaded a PDF file for your convenience. You can download it to your hard drive here at Caesar, the comic creator . You will need the Adobe acrobat reader to open the file. Most computers come with the software these days. But if you need it, you can download a free copy here .

Now after reading Caesar’s comic, he would really appreciate some feedback. If you would be kind enough, would you fill out the form below with your comments. Name and email would be nice also. And your info WILL be kept confidential and only used for comic book business.

Caesar and I thank you for your time and effort. And I hope you surf the rest of my site. I have been putting in a lot of extreme effort to make it one of the most useful and informative comic book sites on the Net.
