Hero Spy just put up an article called “Do You Want To Work In Comics”. We would like to send out a thank you to Hero Spy ( www.Herospy.com ). Here an excerpt:

So you’ve written a killer comic book script. It’s completely original. The characters are flawlessly cool.

You either had to haunt the comic book forums asking for help, or tread through artists ally at your local comic con hoping to meet Miss or Mr. right.
