New edition available after years of being out of print. Although originally published in 1997 (Watson-Guptill Publications Inc.,U.S.) , this new updated digital only edition of How to Self-publish Your Own Comic Book: The Complete Resource Guide to the Business, Production, Distribution, Marketing and Promotion of Comic Books still contains valuable business data, sample contracts, promotional ideas and an updated section on The Internet. The production method of comic books and graphic novels may have changed during the digital revolution, the concept and steps are the same.
This book begins with how to start your new business of publishing, protecting your privacy, trademarks, and copyrights. It delves into the business of comic book creation, printers, contracts, distribution, sales and marketing strategies; budgets and bookkeeping; capital and investors, and secondary rights from someone who did it all, once upon a time.
