  • Thanks Jim! You're fantastic, and that's a fantastic resource. I had NO IDEA about any of this.
  • Jason - I'd love for you to do one! Would you like to choose from some scripts of mine, or would you rather write it yourself? Jim - I have no idea what you're saying but that is indeed worrisome! Are you saying that the dimensions of the pages th…
  • Hey y'all! So I've started posting a Shazam fan comic in the vein of Calvin and Hobbes, with rotating artists. Hoping to make it a weekly thing. You can check out the first installment at my blog or at the Tumblr I set up for it specifically! ht…
  • Thanks for the clarification, Justin, and for having posted that pitch online. Very helpful stuff
  • Thank you very kindly, Marvin!
  • Thanks Dino! It's fairly intuitive, I think, to try to be natural in that kind of meet, but much more difficult to put into practice! Pitching cold is, for me, an awkward prospect; you're literally impinging upon these people's time, unwanted. Par…
  • Preview! Letters by Micah Meyer. (Image) (Image) (Image)
  • Good advice not to get wrapped up in all this, for sure. Seems as though face to face will be my best bet to get some real eyes on the work, so I'm aiming heartily to get a bunch of stuff ready for NYCC.
  • Eric! Thanks so much! I am definitely very prepared not to hear anything back from a pitch to image. Completely reasonable, and expected, given the volume they're dealing with. Hmmm. In the case of Justin's pitch it seemed like the cover letter…
  • Yes, that's definitely true, Marvin, something I've thought about as well. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions from everyone! We'll have to agree to disagree on the logo, but I'm prepared for a 'redo' from a publisher, of course.
  • Russell! I certainly agree but sometimes there's a bit of ambiguity in the way the instructions are formatted, so I wanted to be sure. I've emailed, but they can take a while getting back at times (or sometimes just never reply back at all).
  • Annnnd of course I just found THIS http://justinjordancomics.blogspot.com.tr/2011/12/luther-strode-pitch.html by our very own Justin Jordan and feel like a fool for wasting space here. Sorry everyone. I suppose that answers that; the cover letter …
  • Definitely looking for opinions on the coloring here, as we go forward. Still trying to decide on a good colorist.
  • Cold Truths Has You Covered! (Image) Cover mock up. Pencil/ink/line art by Ralf Singh. Colors by Dennis Lehmann. Logo by Kenny Jeffrey.
  • A couple of logos for a separate, unrelated project I'm working on with Juha Halme. Logo/Graphic Design by Juha! (Image)
  • Brilliant reworking, Josh! I've callously stolen your first suggested rework! Thank you so much!
  • Cold Truths Written/Co-Created by Deniz Camp Penciled/Inked/Co-Created by Ralf Singh And if gaining the truth meant giving up everything else...would you pay that price? Logline: Hidden secrets threaten to tear apart a brother and sister as…
  • Glad you like it ! Jim, point well taken about the logo; for me, the extended crossing of the second "T" in truths supplements the somewhat unclear nature of the first 'T'. Really pleased with the logo.
  • Thanks a lot, sir! Means quite a bit to hear you say so (though, to be very clear, I am NOT the artist on this -- just very lucky to be working with a great one) Yes, Ralf works completely with digital! Here are some sequentials, w/o letters (l…
  • Wonderful resource Jason, thanks for the clarification! Looks like, perhaps, I'll be able to have my cake and eat it to by using the murkier line as a 'tagline' and then something a bit meatier as the logline! Thanks again, to all !
  • Beautiful, Jason. You're a peach! Thanks so much! I'd explain more (especially after you were so thoughtful in your analysis!) but I suppose the point is seeing what each line evokes independent of the rest. I agree that the 'ties that bind' is …
  • Thanks, Marvin! And thanks very much for the extra effort, Jimmie! Much appreciated!
  • Thank you, sir! Any and all feedback is appreciated, so if you'd care to proffer specifics I'd be all ears! (No pressure, of course, and I appreciate that you took the time to respond at all!)
  • Indeed, those were heavy handed in the extreme.
  • I think I go at it in a slightly different way. Maybe? I start with theme, more than anything. What am I trying to explore, here? What am I am trying to say? It's not as simple as a message, per se, because I often don't come to a conclusion, but …
  • Thanks, all!
  • Interesting that you find "Moore" to be preachy -- I'd never say that, myself. To me, 'preachy' isn't about having an agenda. As a writer, you're always going to have an agenda. It's about not sacrificing the integrity of the story, and …
  • Done and done Russell! No pen name, Deniz is a fairly common Turkish name, is all. :)
  • Those flatted pages look fantastic. I can definitely see the Capullo influence/connection, also a little Pelletier. Congratulations on a great collaboration, and good luck!
  • I know Deforge loves the 6 panel layout because of the "call and response" rhythm it establishes. It certainly is wonderful for any sort of discussion, perhaps my preferred system, but it's also a bit boring I think, and dangerous to overu…
