Are you new to the independent comic book publishing game? Not quite sure how the comic book industry works? THATS OK! LETS MAKE IT SIMPLE!!!
Before publishing your comic there are a couple things that you need to decide…
1) How many pages is your comic? (You determine this through paneling… Avg Page 5-7 Panels)
2) Will you comic book be in color or black and white?
3) How much are you able to spend?
What you will need to publish your own comic
1) MONEY
2) Penciller
3) Inker
4) Colorist
5) Letterer
TIME TO MAKE THIS SIMPLE!!!
Okay most comic book artists can do all of these things with exception to lettering at one time. You can get a good comic artist to pencil and ink for $10 per page. You can get gray scale work for about $15 or You can get your work in full color from about $20 per page. As far as lettering is concerned try to keep it as low as $2 and as high as $4-$5.
SO HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME TO MAKE MY OWN COMIC???
24 Page Black & White Comic Book Cost- About $300
24 Page Gray Scale Comic Book Cost- About $400
24 Page Color Comic Book Cost- About $525
THINK MY NUMBERS ARE LOW???
I can get you a awesome comic book made for that price! I know the artists and letterers that you want to talk to. Trust me it is in fact possible to hire an amazing artist for lower page rates. Not all of us are made of money, we are not marvel or dc we are independent comic book publishers!
