I am working on a special issue of my magazine, Surreal Grotesque, which will be about the best web comics or independent comic artists that people haven’t heard of. I want to help spread the word and promote artists. I would just need a bio from you, your info that you want to promote such as if you are available for commissions and 5-7 pages of your best work. It will be a special digital issue of the magazine and perhaps later I can try and do a physical book of it. If you would like to be a part of this project, let me know: dangrn77@hotmail.com, just put Surreal Grotesque #0 as the subject. You can check out my website here: www.surrealgrotesque.com. Horror/bizarre, scifi comics preferred.
Great to meet you at Boston Comic-con! Very nice work all round!! See you soon.

Great to meet you to, Dave! Always welcome advice from the greats. :)
Awesome gallery dude
Do you have any advice on how to write for comics? I would like to create my own comics but my writings not that good. My grammar sucks and my English not that good. Should I collaborate with a writer? What if it's my story or script that he/she's writing? Should they be credited as the writer? Thanks in advance.
That's a big topic. It's taking me years to learn how to write comics.

Mostly, I think you should ask yourself-- If you don't feel that you can do the writing yourself, what do you bring to the table? From what I have learned a "writer" is someone who has the force of will to get a comic finished, because there's a million guys with a story or even a script.

I'm not saying not to do it-- I just think the first part of any plan has to be to work out why you want to do it, what you want to accomplish, and what special thing only you can bring to the table.
