Self-Portrait of a Comics Self-Publisher

By Kevin LaPorte

Making comics on your own ain't easy. Join me inside the world of comics self-publishing and share the joy of creation, the frustration of funding, and the occasional smell of success.

Kevin is not only a talented creator. But I can't even guess at how much time he spends pouring over Kickstarter comic books. He gives in depth analysis on every campaign that launches. The only explanation is that his day has 26 hours.
