It is hard to break into comic books now if you are an aspiring independent artist. For one thing, work-for-hire artists need great connections to work for the Big 2, Marvel, or DC. While it’s great exposure, you would be creating art you don’t own. Marvel commands over 38% of the current comics market, and DC holds a 25% share. The Big 2 own over 63% of the comics market. Every independent publisher comprises the other 38%. So, whether you plan to work for the Big 2 or publish your own independent comic, you need to use every advantage you have to stand out. You should invest in high-end drawing tablets with screens.
