Like I said, I'll answer any comics related-questions (within reason) for my weekend editorial. Previous topics have related to breaking in to comics, the qualities of a good comic store and whether B&W comics should be colorized. Ask a question here and I WILL eventually answer in the column.
Ask Pinchuk a Question, Have it Answered in an Editorial
Kindly kick some wisdom on the topic of Printing/Distributing comics I imagine that would be very interesting.
pick one
1. what is your dream comic to work on?and what would you do differently with it
2. how has doing what you love now changed the quality of your own life and outlook on it.
When submitting a script to a publisher, should you just write the #1, or have the entire series ready to go?
" In the vein of the other questions; how about digital? Which of all do you prefer? Why? "I can read either but I vastly prefer a comic in hand than one on my laptop.
Another question: Preference of "indie" comics or "mainstream" comics? Differences in art, quality, restrictions, etc.
I have 3:
1. At what point does a comic stop being indie? I used to think DC/Marvel was mainstream and anything else being indie but some comics(e.g. Invincible and Hellboy) have become quite popular and well known. So once a comic starts as indie is it always indie or is there some type of turning point when it becomes mainstream and if so what is this turning point?
2. At what point does a character cross the threshold into "iconic" character ?
3. What changes are and aren't acceptable when making a comic book adaption?
The comic medium is primarily associated with Super Heroes, which brings most to associate comics with a kind of juvenile fantasy escapism. There are many alternatives to the Super Hero comics out there now, of course. But do you ever think the medium will ever be recognized as on equal par with film or the written word? I supposed I'm really talking about the distinction between "graphic novels" and "comic books."
