FREEZE, Spread ‘EM!
So hopefully, you now know how to correctly template an interior comic book page the DC Comics way. You’ve scanned all your pages in and templated all your pages, be it bitmap or grayscale. “But Corey”, you say, “I drew a double page spread in my book, how do I template that?” Well, now I [...]

Start From The Beginning
As a writer I get asked a lot of questions. Some of those questions are even about writing. It’s the usual questions: Where do you come up with your ideas? How do you develop a character? Do you start with a setting first or a character? My answer depends on who I am conversing with [...]

Surviving the 24 Hour Comic Day Challenge

Susan B. Anthony’s Other Vision
I’m not sure if Susan B. Anthony was a comic book fan, but I do know she helped pave the way for a movement of new geeks in this world. So now you ask the legitimate question, “Yo, how does a 19th century women’s right activist have anything to do with comic books?” My answer [...]
