In this five-week course, critically-acclaimed comics writer Paul Allorteaches you how to build your creator-owned and indie comics career!

Now more than ever, creator-owned comics are a vital part of any comics career, granting you a greater level of creative freedom, and a better chance at long-term financial gain.

This course dives deep into all aspects of creator-owned comics, from developing an initial idea to assembling a creative team to final production. You will learn how to avoid the pitfalls and perils of indie publishing, and how best to navigate a rapidly changing comics industry. There is no greater feeling than seeing your creation in a bookcase or on a comics shelf, and this course will help get you there.

Enroll here! Class starts July 8th.


 
Heather Antos (Valiant, Image, Marvel) talks with Joey about abusive and inappropriate behavior in comics. Heather shares suggestions on how to check on our creative peers and keep everyone safe, signals to look for, things you can ask in person and over text, and other actionable ways to check on people.
 

Writer Keith Robinson talks with Andy and Joey about what led him to getting into writing comics, including taking Andy’s Introduction to Writing Comics class, what he learned through revisions, peer reviews, and working with the creative team on his short story Super Scooter Sydney.

"It didn't take long before I started to get offers of work from Dynamite & 2000 AD. I just keep updating my samples, constantly going through in my head: 'What would Chris [Sotomayor, CE Coloring course instructor] do?' Every page I do, Chris is like my judge." - CE Course Alum Pippa Bowland
