Very small print run on issue One. Get a copy ASAP. Were you paying me for my expertise I would recommend you buy 10. The upside, in my opinion, outweighs the downside. Speculating on new comics is always a risk. That said. I am right far more than I am wrong. #TheAddiction #comicbooks #comicinvestments #graphics #graphicarts #speculativeinvestmenttip

Did you know today is National Comic Book Day in Brazil? This holds special meaning to me, since comic books were how I learned to read well before reaching school age. As a kid, I had a huge collection of Mauricio de Sousa's "gibis", and I treated it as my treasure. Although I'm not a big fan of superhero stories, most other kinds of comics still delight me. I just think it's a brilliant way of expressing oneself through art, conveying important messages, or simply making someone smile. I would absolutely love to translate comics. If you are a #webcomics or #ComicBookAuthor who wants to make my dream come true, let's talk! #PTBRtranslator #BrunaTranslates

I sign all my books that I sell. I don't charge for a signature. I just think my signing a book is a fun gesture for my readers. When purchasing a book, I recently had a fan ask me: "do you offer CoA [Certificate of Authenticity] for your signatures?" I've never been asked that before. I've never even thought about doing such a thing. I wouldn't even know what sort of documentation to include for such a sale to prove that my signature is from me. I suppose if a reader REALLY wanted some sort of Certificate of Authenticity for my signature, I'd try to include some sort of CoA. And, I agree with Emmet... Emmet (owner of Haven for Heroes): "Comics are an art form. They're not just a cover." And... "To make this business last a very long time, you have to make readers, not speculators." https://lnkd.in/et-4GZHk #comics #graphicnovels #SequentialArt #creatorsrights #selfpublishing #comicbookstore #comicbookstores #MakeComicsGreatAgain

ANATOMY OF A SCREENPLAY introduces the idea of creating a "character structure" in the place of "plot points" to tell your story. Each character has certain elements and each element, in turn, is a character with their own elements. You gotta read this book!
