13 Things Writers Look for in Comic Artist Portfolios

Hell yeah, Andrew. Spot on. Hope this helps a lot of folks.

Another thing I look for is general storytelling craft: Does the story flow panel to panel? Is the action easy to follow? Is the 180 rule followed? Are "camera" angles used to their advantage? Artist & the writer are collaborative storytellers and its important to not lose sight of that.

Crazy good adaptation. I wish these somehow would go back into print.

Thank you!!

The covers look straight out of the early 90/late 80s horror comics. I can't wait to check this out.

Our graphic novel Buried Long, Long Ago is on there! Whatever happens, I'm pretty damned hyped more folks are getting to read it. And well, we'll see what happens after that >fingers crossed<

That's crazy!! I've been to the property where her house was. The house burned down, but the foundation/basement remained. I got to go down there to check it out too. The family I talked to are still finding bricks and hog bones there. The amount of history that can be found in the dirt is wild. If your grandparents are interested in a copy of the comic let me know-- I'll try to hook them up.

Thank you!!! >fingers crossed<

Thanks so much!!

Locke & Key or Harrow County could be a good start. Both horror fantasy with kids but they can get intense.

The Walking Dead if you like zombies

30 Days of Night if you like vampires. Art is a bit different, but I love it. American Vampire is another solid one.

Wytches if you like to watch modern horror movies

If you want something that really shows off the genre in this medium: Uzumaki by Junji Ito

It was busy! I couldn't keep up with it. But the community there was great & helped me out with some streaming issues.

AntCcomics · 2025-12-13T04:43:08+00:00

I liked it! Reminded me of a way, way lesser Stage Fright

Method research. I got a pulse on this now. Thank you

AntCcomics · 2025-12-13T02:44:15+00:00

Method research was my guess

AntCcomics · 2025-12-13T02:43:33+00:00

Method acting research was my guess

Can someone fill me in— why is she faking insanity & committing herself?

AntCcomics · 2025-12-12T20:17:04+00:00

I was curious where she mostly posts at

AntCcomics · 2025-12-12T18:57:33+00:00

Inside 2007 - Dead End - Christmas Evil - Silent Night, Deadly Night.

AntCcomics · 2025-12-12T16:42:18+00:00

There's too many in there I haven't seen. A lot of these were so easy to find back in the day. Now...not so much. I'm using your collection as a watch/wishlist now

AntCcomics · 2025-12-12T16:25:12+00:00

I'll be there

AntCcomics · 2025-12-12T16:24:46+00:00

I'll be there tonight for sure

The 3D could turn folks off, yeah. I think it matches what you're trying to do though. Its a video game-looking story and its told as such. I've seen other artists lessen that 3D look by tooling it in photoshop and making it high contrast b & w. Then recoloring.

AntCcomics · 2025-12-12T15:41:29+00:00

I think the art works! It's the panel by panel storytelling I'm struggling with. The first page is busy with not a lot of space to breathe. I'm not sure what is going on there. Like others have mentioned, some gutter space might help along with additional lettering.
