How much does comic book authors get paid?
How much does comic book authors get paid? Do they get paid more than any average job or less? Basicly would I be able to buy a house, pay bills and survive off of being a comic artist? Most people say that they don’t get paid much for their work?
depends on how many people buy their comics
If your really good then you would be a millionaire for sure, but i think the average comic book writer makes less then average job, they need to juggle another job on the side too
the question is, do you want to be a comic book artist?? or a writer?. Remember the artist, if he is anywhere near good, can always go to conventions and get a boost to his income. A writer, unless he is like Bendis may have a little more trouble, but you should still be able to do it, or else we wouldn’t have comics today.
Do you plan to work at a major company? Marvel, DC, Dark Horse? Many of them can make a lot of money at conventions. Kind of like old baseball players at conventions. This is on top of your normal salary, This is an excellent side benefit!
