Want to know how to break into writing for comic books? Well, I have a link for you but it won't tell you step-by-step how to do that. It's an essay my pal Kurt Busiek wrote a few years ago about he did it…and what he wants you to learn from it is that everyone's route is different. This applies to any kind of freelance writing or drawing and it probably applies to acting and directing and a lot of other positions…and not just in comics, There is no one pathway. The sooner you understand that, the sooner you may be able to find a path that works for you.
