How to save the comic book industry without having a fucking clue

    Is there really a comic book industry? Can you make a living from making comics? What will come first: cold fusion, the perpetual motion machine or a decent wage structure for the whole sector?

    This irreverent Graphic Novel answers these questions and many more related to the wonderful world of creating comics. It is a guide about unconscious and brave people whose only desire, incredible as it may seem, is to eat hot food, not sleep under a bridge and save enough money to buy clothes at flea markets.

    Fleeing from self-pity, writer Javier Marquina and artist Rosa Codina present their ironic vision of how the medium works in Spain, a view that can be extrapolated abroad. With sharp irony and large doses of acidic humor, they also highlight the challenges faced by comic authors when attempting to make a living from their work.
