On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Dan Head. Today, we're going to be talking about how to self publish your own comic or graphic novel. So, once you've got your comic together, and you're ready to take over the world, how are you going to do that? How are you going to got your story out into the hands of people? As a novice comic creator, I would suggest that probably the best way to do it is on the internet, at least at first. For example, this story, Awesome Storm Justice 41, comes out maybe a little less than monthly by a group of hobbyists that I tend to work with. This is a story that I wrote. And, we put it out on the internet. Each episode is six pages long. That's, that's a length that hobbyists can work on. We work on a hundred day production cycle. And, that's something that you can work on in your spare time. It's not trying to produce 'Gone with the Wind' or 'War and Peace' in comic fashions for the small press. That's very difficult to do.
