It is said that breaking into comics is like breaking out of jail. Once one person does it one way that way is closed and the next person has to find another way to do it.
Here is my thought. I want to make graphic novels the same way they make movies. In the old days movie companies controlled every step in the process but anti-trust laws forced them to break up and out source most of the production, i.e. the part where you actually go out and shoot the footage.
Today the big studios like Disney, Warner Brothers, New Line and Paramount are basically just a source of funding and distribution. Other companies like Pixar and Bad Robot do the actual filming then take it to a studio to print it and ship it.
So here is what i want to do. I want to work with an artist to develop a script. We would do as much work on it as we could so that when we take it to Marvel or DC or who ever all they have to do is print it and ship it.
