The Garcia Method: Or How To Write a Digital Comic
Welcome to our newest column, The Garcia Method: Or How To Write A Digital Comic. You’ve all heard of the Marvel Method for writing print comics, but what about the brave new world of digital comics? Let us introduce to Ryan Garcia, an aspiring digital comic book author who is on a journey to share his experience with the world. And he’s going to start by sharing it with our readers.
Why am I here? Wow, that’s a profound question for just meeting! I’m here because I’m a comic book writer and I wanted to share my journey from writing to publication. Granted, it may be jumping the gun to call me a writer since my comic book is coming out in October. But soon-to-be-published-comic-book-writer has far too many hyphens. We’ll stick with the simple.
As a comic book writer, I’ve longed to tell stories that only comic books can tell. We’re comic book fans here – I saw the sign on the door – I think you know deep down what I’m talking about. Comic books let us explore worlds even more fantastical than movies; themes even more complex than television series. Novels get close yet they lack the shared experiences we all receive from reading a comic and talking about it with other readers. There is something about the marriage of image and words that makes the story more than just prose. And there is something about a comic not showing every action like a movie does – it engages more of our imagination. We connect with comics in a way unlike any other medium.
I’ve wanted to tell stories in comic books for years but I didn’t have the time to pursue a publisher. When Comixology announced their Submit platform everything clicked for me. I knew there was now a chance for me to tell the stories I wanted to tell. However, as a writer without a ounce of artistic talent, I needed to approach the project differently. There are plenty of blogs and articles and books about self-publishing comic books but virtually all of them take the artist’s side. Which is fantastic since there are great artist-created books out there.
What about the writer who can’t draw? There is a path to creating comics. I was eager to learn it and to share what I’ve learned along the way. That’s why I’m here.
My comic is expected to launch in October. I’m hopeful to share what I’ve learned along the way. I’ll be writing a weekly column here and posting additional content over at brisketcomics.tumblr.com. For example, I already have columns over there about “Why write a comic book,” ”What does creating comic books from the writer’s perspective mean,” and “The best way to learn how to write comic books.” So come over there or just sit down here and stay a while. We’ll talk every week on this adventure.
Feel free to leave any comments. I’ll do my best to respond to everyone. As long as you stop looking at me that way.

Hi Ryan,
Great site you have. Can I ask if you know how many copies the average Graphic novel sells ?
Kind Regards,
Simon

Great question. And it’s a bit complicated sadly. Let me tackle that it my next column!

Viele Online-Casinos bieten sehr großzügige Willkommensboni und wollen damit neue Spieler begeistern. Ebenso
sollte es kein maximales Limit für eine Gewinnauszahlung geben, wenn
wir mit einem Bonus spielen. Nicht nur die Höhe des Bonusbetrags
ist hierbei für uns entscheidend, sondern auch die Bonusumsatzbedingungen, die
der Bonus mit sich bringt. Bei einem Willkommensbonus oder einem Neukundenbonus sind
in vielen Online Casinos auch zusätzliche Freispiele Bestandteil des Angebots.
Entweder erfolgt die Gutschrift direkt nach der
Registrierung (Bonus ohne Einzahlung) oder nach der ersten Einzahlung (Einzahlungsbonus / Willkommensbonus).
Doch Achtung, auch hier sind, gewisse Bonusbedingungen zu beachten. Wir aktualisieren unsere Liste in regelmäßigen Abständen und somit stellen wir hier die besten online Casino Boni für deutsche Spieler
zur Auswahl bereit. Eine pauschale Antwort gibt es auf diese Frage nicht , da dies von dem Spielertyp abhängig ist und von dem eigenen Spielverhalten.
So kannst du besser entscheiden, welcher Casino Bonus am besten zu deinem
Spielverhalten passt. Viele bieten ihren Casino Bonus automatisch oder über andere Aktivierungsmethoden an, dass kann unter anderem
die Einzahlung oder ein Auswahlbutton sein. Ein Bonus Code kann in einigen Online Casinos notwendig sein, um bestimmte Bonusangebote zu
aktivieren. Es ist daher wichtig, die spezifischen Bonusbedingungen zu lesen, um zu verstehen, für welche
Spiele der Casino Echtgeld Bonus mit Einzahlung gilt. Beispielsweise könnten Online Slots zu 100% beitragen, während Tisch- und Kartenspiele nur einen geringeren Prozentsatz oder
sogar gar nicht zählen.

The Interactive Gambling Act and state regulations govern the operations of
online casinos, while offshore casinos offer an alternative for Australian players.
Australian online casinos feature an extensive range of games, including slots, poker, and table games,
appealing to diverse player preferences. The most popular online casinos games in Australia
are pokies and progressive jackpots, according to the most recent
statistics. These still function as real online casinos,
as players can still win cash and withdraw their winnings.
Although you are not obliged to pay anything to play games
at online casinos in Australia, you may wish to buy additional coins or packages.
The best online casino sites have a seal of approval from institutions
like the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission. Some Australian online gambling sites use shady tactics that put your money and data at risk.
The downside is that some fast payout casinos exclude e-wallet deposits from bonus eligibility, and transaction fees may apply
depending on the service.
Rakoo Casino offers special promotions, including
a generous welcome bonus and free spins, enhancing player
experience. The casino boasts over 4000 pokies and utilizes
Evolution Gaming for its live casino rooms. Dundeeslots further
elevates the gaming experience with attractive promotional deals, including
bonuses and free spins. The platform features a
wide selection of pokies with diverse themes and engaging mechanics, alongside
classic table games like blackjack and roulette.
