If you’re like me, you want to make comics, draw comics, analyze and read them, and be the next big comic creator. After working as an editor at Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing, I’ve been managing major franchises for years. I’ve also written my fair share of comics. Writing is a great way for me to enjoy yet another aspect of the comic creating process.
But that’s not what Comics Experience is for. It’s not for me. It’s for you. I’ve been lucky enough to make comics every day for a living. And I’ve done everything I can to learn every aspect of production. I love educating people about comics and the industry. And what I really love is watching and helping new talented people grow.
Comics Experience is a one-stop website for you or someone you know to learn comics writing, art, lettering, and coloring. Whether you’re just interested in comics or already striving to create them, you’ll find an informative, supportive group of instructors, fellow students, and workshop members here at Comics Experience.
So, welcome. I hope you give us a try—I’m sure you’ll love it here.

Ongoing Online Workshop
COMIC CREATORS WORKSHOP
Join Andy in this online community, made up of people who are serious about making comic books—whether writing, penciling, inking, painting, coloring, editing—anything! You'll surround yourself with a group of colleagues committed to success. You'll have your work critiqued by fellow writers and artists—plus professional comic book writers, editors, and artists. And you'll have the opportunity to learn by critiquing the work of others! And did we mention how much fun this is? In addition to being serious comic creators, we also make sure that comics stay fun—a highly under-appreciated part of the creative process!
