Designed and outlined by Will Eisner before his death in 2005, this posthumous masterwork, the third and final book in the Will Eisner Instructional Series, finally reveals the secrets of Eisner’s own techniques and theories of movement, body mechanics, facial expressions, and posture: the key components of graphic storytelling. From his earliest comics, including the celebrated Spirit, to his pioneering graphic novels, Eisner understood that the proper use of anatomy is crucial to effective storytelling. His control over the mechanical and intuitive skills necessary for its application set him apart among comics artists, and his principles of body grammar have proven invaluable to legions of students in overcoming what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of creating comics. Buttressed by dozens of illustrations, which display Eisner’s mastery of expression, both subtle and overt, Expressive Anatomy for Comics and Narrative will benefit comics fans, students, and teachers and is destined to become the essential primer on the craft.

Mary asks…
I think I have a pretty cool idea for a comic strip, but before I get all worked up about it, I just want to see if the money is even worth it.
Thanks for all your help!!!
They usually get national Syndicators who sell it to many newspapers and split fees.
So imagine it's $10 per newspaper and you split a percetage with the syndicator.
Carol asks…
Hourly rate? or per piece? or by contract?
It can vary greatly. Some are payed by the amount they make (per piece) and for others. it is a contract for what they can finish. This is why when at any comic or anime con you see artists working when not talking to fans. Their time is money to them, and if they can make a few extra bucks by a con appearance that just benefits them some what. => Yet they still may have a dead line to finish stuff by.
General annual salary for the working artist can range from $20,000 to $50,000, and more, if you can get into specialty prints and other commercialization of your art...
Robert asks…
they create a character/design a costume/etc. I'm just curious i wanna go to art school but i don't know....
Depends on the comic book popularity and what the artist can negotiate.
Usually not much for beginning illustrators.
Top level artists such as Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Alex Ross et al can negotiate for a lot more.
As far as character ownership - that is a big struggle more often won by the publisher. You have to be a big artist, or go independent, to usually keep rights to any character you create.
Still, if you have talent as an artist - comics maybe the place to get that art job...
Chris asks…
exactly HOW do comic book artists get payed? by the page or something? lol
Usually you are assigned a number of pages - to draw, ink, letter or color or a combination of all of these. You may be assigned to draw several issues of a comic - and if the readers love you - you salary can go up... (and you get more work).
Sharon asks…
I'm actually doing a homework assignment about a career I'm interested in, and we have to fill out benefits, work requirements, promotion opportunities, salary range, experience requirements, and "other considerations." It's pretty tough trying to find all of this online. Can anybody shed any light on the matter? It'd be greatly appreciated!
You can go to college for comic artists.
FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City has a good comic program I believe.

Witches, murder, ghosts, and madness one of Shakespeare’s finest tragedies is also a perfect fit for the graphic novel format. This compelling adaptation depicts every blood-curdling scene in easy-to-follow illustrations, accompanied by Shakespeare’s original text. An illustrated cast of characters reminds readers who’s who, and fascinating background information on Shakespeare and the real Macbeth adds historical context.
