How to save the comic book industry without having a fucking clue
s 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 vision of how the medium works in Spain but which 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.
