How to Self-Publish Comics: Not Just Create Them

Josh Blaylock’s now classic How-To prose book about the business of comic book publishing, after selling out of its updated 2012 edition, is now being re-released to include Tim Seeley’s companion writings on the behind-the-scenes realities of being a comic book artist, originally released in pamphlet form.

Josh Blaylock is the author of bunches and bunches of comics, including Mercy Sparx, G.I. Joe, Voltron, G.I. Joe vs. Transformers, Kore, Misplaced, Penguin Bros. WarStone, the quintessential How to Self-Publish Comics: Not Just Create Them, and the historical thriller-drama Operation Nemesis (inspired by a true story). He's the founder of Devil's Due, which shook up the comic book publishing landscape in the early 2000s and brought licensing of retro pop culture properties to the forefront. Today Josh embraces the evolution of publishing by nurturing and consulting new talent through a combination of crowdfunding, traditional publishing, and navigating the landscape of comic-cons. He can be found signing books, sketching for fans and speaking on self-publishing at comic shops and conventions across the country. Josh currently lives in Chicago with his wife, Mayra, and his four legged step son, a tiny white puppy.
