If you haven't written comics before, it's not as easy as you think. It's a constant struggle to say as much as possible with as little as possible, so as not to cover up the art.

I used to try to write scripts, but everything changed when I moved on to page layouts. The ideas in the script were usually wrong. Now I write loose suggestions of what the page might be, and do most of the "writing" on the page. Often the dialogue doesn't get finalized until the page is drawn, and it ends up being totally different than what I thought it would be.

That's impressive. How did you market it? I'm having almost no luck with the internet.

What I've found so far is that people are more disturbed by the lingering comic images. They don't cut away like movie images do.
