Graphic novels, storytelling and animation.
My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
I had an encounter with the living Christ and his power many years ago at a time when I was a skeptical back-slidden seeker. His reality gives meaning to my current life, otherwise I would have fallen into a permanent pit of despair.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
Be able to publish my Christian story called "Unveiled", and perhaps (ok, I know this is very ambitious) transfer it into an animation
Favorite Comic Creators:
Travis Charest Billy Tucci Ian Kennedy Roman Hugault Alex Ross Salvador Larroca

Hi guysI am now going though the draft contract sent to me ACK Media in India for the publication of my comic in one of their magazines for kids. There is just one thing I am uncertain about. It is the following condition:“Further, the first right…
"Fantastic work! Has the look & feel of a movie poster."
"Thanks Paula, I appreciate your input. "
"I wouldn't *think* it's anything to do with the artist at this point, if they are talking about the first right of refusal for distribution and marketing outside of Asia - that has more to do with the finished product. Unless you're paying your…"
"I would think so - but then, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not them, so there's still a risk that they'd drop you and go shake down someone else. If the contract is unacceptable to you without those changes, it would be worth that risk, though."
"And BTW, is this "Fisrt right of refusal" an obligation to the artist, or does he.she have the right not to agree to such a condition?
Thanks a lot for your patience, Paula. I am quite nervous about this new territory."

"Hi Paula.
Is it reasonable then to suggest something as follows: if I market the material anywhere else, I will ad their name as a credit. And then, if it gets published someplace else, they get 15% pf the revenue?"

"There's really more info available for freelance writers than there is for anything in the realm of comics. Even big, legitimate comics publishing companies have contracts that are draconian from a writer's perspective.
Looking at it again, maybe…"

"Some great artwork by one of my ex-students Youmin Park!"
"Calvary Comics, thank you so much for your input! Is there a place I can get proper info on 'One time rights" -- what it entails? This world is new to me.
Thanks also for the advice about mentioning specific names on forums -- that makes a lot of…"

"Hi Paula, thank you, that is valuable comment you added. Indeed it seemd quite sneaky to me!
But would the same principles apply if it is my existing work (not new) that I want to market in territories outside of Asia? Indian Rupees don't help much…"

"I would not agree to that 'first right of refusal/50-50 subsequent share' at all, since India has one of the largest readerships of comics in the world. Negotiate for one-time rights, and you maintain copyright control. I have had to legally crack…"
"Thank you for your response, Paula, that is what I was thinking too.

"So, if you create something, they see it first and determine if they want to publish it. That's the "first refusal" part. But then, if they don't want it, they want the right to submit the thing they don't want elsewhere, and take half the money. So…"
"Hi guys! Thanks to Youmin I have also joined this great forum. I am the friend she's been referring to.
And thanks to everyone who helped with that good advice - much appreciated. I am in the process of negotiating with the publishing company, and…"

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
