This is urgent !!!!!I have long wanted to create my
own comics.What I did'nt know then was how I would get them published.The comics that I want to make
are of the more serious kind,that is,my comics will
have real life stories and realistic drawings.I will only use H.B. pencil,and I want to use cinematic techniques,
by this I mean camera angles like they do in the movies.I
want to give it a sort of feel such as one would have while watching a film.I certainly do not say that I am going to
try and imitate movies as such,but rather that I will be
borrowing from it.I will not be leaving the "funnies"style
of cartoons out of my work and this will have its own section.Recently I came across self publishing on sites
like lulu and cafepress which offer print on demand publishing.I like this very much and I am in the process
of doing it.I really would like to hear from others who share my ideas and passion for creating comics/graphic novels.Thank you for reading this.

You have a good idea. I met a young man that wanted to do the same thing and he was a gifted artist. The industry can be brutal. How about starting small to get a feel for the industry and response? Maybe start a blog about it or YouTube, FaceBook etc. Good luck.

Thanks for your response.Perhaps a blog would be a very good way to start off, like you said 'to get a feel for it'I have'nt heard of FaceBook before now
maybe I should check them out.Once again thank you
very much for taking an interest.God Bless You.

I am an artist of horror graphic novels that I write and draw myself, I regularly think up ways I acn get my work shown on the internet and just out there!
I too want to break into the world of comic books, mainly to write and draw my own ideas, so that they could be turned into films one day, making me huge amount of cash!!
good luck with your comic book ventures, consider getting your work copyrighted and published over the internet as much as possible and draw traffic to your web pages!!
