When sending a comic book submission?
does the publisher usually want a sample of the first issue of the series you plan to submit? Or just a random sample of your work? Or does this vary from publisher to publisher? I ask because one I am looking at wants an 8-12 page story but doesn't say what KIND of story.

Marvel and DC submission?
what happened to marvel and dc submission. It ended for almost 2 years now with some lousy excuse that they weren't receiving any good submissions but their were some people that were hired thru them. Now Marvels since the year 2000 had gone down in sales with horrible artwork because they hired horrible, unskilled, untalented lazy artists. How these artists were hired is unknown my guess would be they published somekind of low detailed chessy comic book which any artist could easily do or they applied with some kind of fine arts degree, computer graphics or design degree which comic book art has nothing to do with. Remember that is what probably happened since they claimed they got no one thru submissions. These artist work had low detail with poor quality however real comic book submission like mine were rejected. I remember see their work-it was like they had been trying to do an advertisment or logo design. An Excellent comic book aritst knows more art than even a person with a master degree in art a reason their aren't alot of good comic book artist yet those who stink are a lot which are really fonies who are only fine art artists. Since 2008 things have pick up for a litte in Marvel, maybe cause of new managment after the internal Marvel conflict; moreover some new talent has emerged and older artists came back into the scene. Now there really wasn't any exuse for them to cancel submission since with the internet or thru their website they could of blocked or ignored people who kept constantly sending submission that stunk which is a alot. Why only choose a argument with Marvel and DC since they are the only comic book monoploies who took out of the other comic book companies out of competition since the 60's. They have high standards for acceptance-so they claim but their history shows horrible trends in hiring that almost took them out of business. Come on those artist couldn't even tell a story a draw a proper character. By the way Marvel is still doing these hiring pratices until now and those lousy artist still are in Marvel and are beging hired. Now if you let people believe you would accept them if they have the talent by applying with them thru a submission and later on hiring those who don't deserve to be in that field you, Marvel, shouldn't even make suck remarks or requirement standards. No I don't like manga though its easier and simpler to do than Regular comic books. I wouldn't be happy and its not good for the long wrong as a career since they don't last long in the market and they are too many in it since it simple work. Forgot they don't make millions as comic book artists.
