ABSTRACT

But once all of the hard work is done, all you really have to do is register the copyright to your work, and try to get it published. Couldn’t be simpler, right?

Almost.

Believe it or not, the toughest legal aspect to creating a comic book solo may be ensuring that you really did, in fact, create all of the work that went into your book. Because the minute you work with another illustrator, base a part of your work on somebody else’s story, include somebody else’s trademark, or even develop your comic book plot and characters in the context of a writing support group, well then you may have legal issues.
