"Andy brought me into Marvel with the "Drax" project, then put a largely untested artist without a huge fan-base on his dream project. Andy believed in me as an artist, and I will always be grateful. It says a lot about the kind of guy Andy is."

Scott Weinstein - August 30, 2007
"Breaking into Comics for Writers was a great summer surprise. It offers an introduction to the mysterious world of comic book writing for people with absolutely no experience. And for those of us who have already tried our hands, there are plenty of professional tips to be had. Andy Schmidt brings a wealth of professional experience to the class. But, more importantly, he is enthusiastic about comics, and patient with students as they learn. I can't recommend this class enough."

"Andy's class provides an incredible insight into what it takes to work in the industry. Besides learning the nuts and bolts aspect of what goes into good storytelling, Andy gives a great foundation on how to make contacts in the industry, as well as the etiquette required with those contacts. And it's all supported with entertaining examples of his actual experience in the industry. So whether you're an aspiring writer, trying to figure out how to break into comic book writing, or a comic book fan who wants to hear some insider stories about some of your favorite creators, this class is a must."

Joshua Mandelbaum - September 3, 2007
"Andy provided practical and valuable insight into what a writer needs to know about scripting a comic and what to do with that script after its completed. I walked away inspired not only by the relaxed but informative conversations from each class, but also by the wealth of ideas that were generated by Andy and the other students."
