Comic Book Ephemera Item Of The Day: Marvel Check From 1991
Added 2023-03-04 03:16:13 +0000 UTCFrom my first year as a full-time comic book professional/freelancer.
1991 was a good year for me in many ways. Anything seemed possible. Oh, well!

Okay, so the amounts are all over the place for two reasons -- #1, I was paid for for plotting and scripting/dialoging. #2 - I was usually turning in pages in batches and invoicing in batches. I don't know how the heck plotting got invoiced, I don't recall, because I think my plots were very loose breakdowns that I sometimes wrote on notebook paper. It's all hazy now. After issue #1 I was making everything up on the fly and sometimes didn't know where the hell things were always going.
