Small Publishers Push Properties for Films, Series
D.C. and Marvel went big with their characters and it's paid off. Now, according to a New York Times article, the little guys crave passage on that royalty gravy train. But as Gregory Schmidt writes:
". . . the publishing model of smaller houses differs from that of their larger counterparts. Instead of having a monthly series that can run for years, they publish shorter series, usually about five issues. If a series is a hit, the publishers can order a second short series or make it ongoing. To bolster revenue, the series can be repackaged and sold in collections."
Comics into live-action are another venue for writers and artists to earn an honest buck. Read the rest as time and fortune dictate in your busy day.

I've always thought indie comics would be the perfect outlet for certain talented writer I know.
By the way, I keep working on my story. Mostly strugling with the second act. I'm sure the story should be short (15 to 30 pp., tops) and, more importantly, the genre must be horror comedy. However, I don't have that much reference, on it. I think all the writing I've been able to read from you falls near that category or right on it. What's the trick to frighten the life out of your readers one second and make 'em laugh the next, John?
I'm also looking for other references on comedy horror. Do you have any recommendations?
I sent you an email, but characters misunderstanding the terrifyingly obvious can be played for fun.
