In this special guest seminar from the Creators at Comicsburgh, learn the ins and outs of starting an original comic series, with a focus on the entrepreneurship and collaboration behind comic book creation. The creators demystify the creative process, showing how comic books evolve from an idea, into a script, and through each stage of artistic development, from layouts to pencils to final book design. This workshop offers a high-level overview of a comic's developmental process, along with space for individual questions and resources to help advance your project.

Featuring Guest Creators from Comicsburgh: Grant Lankard (Beowulf and Memoirs of the Morbid) and Marvin Wynn (The Edge)

Comicsburgh, the Pittsburgh-based independent comic book collective known for its creator-owned storytelling and bold genre work, is proud to announce a new national sales and distribution partnership with Independent Publishers Group (IPG), one of the largest and most respected independent book distributors in North America.

Through this partnership, Comicsburgh’s flagship titles will now be available to bookstores, libraries, and major book retailers across the United States and Canada, significantly expanding the collective’s reach beyond the direct comic market.

“This is a major step forward for us,” said D.P. Brown. “Comicsburgh was built on creator ownership, community, and independent spirit. Partnering with IPG allows us to bring that same energy to bookstores and libraries nationwide while maintaining full creative control of our stories.”
