I was looking for some information on comics and self-publishing and couldn't find it all in one place, so here it is:
Since you're going to be writing comics, shouldn't you also pick up Eddie Campbell's Alec: How to be an Artist (Amazon link)? I mean, he pretty much lays it out for you.
- My quest was started by a Journalista link to Alec Longstreth's comic based on his lecture at The Center for Cartoon Studies.
- This is an excellent how-to (and it's free!).
- Dave Sims's speech on comics.
- Dave Sims's book on self-publishing comics. (I haven't found this anywhere.)
- (While at amazon.com, you could also pick up my favorite issue(s) of Cerebus.)
- Gary Reed's self-publishing guide.
- Matt Kindt's "How to make comics" video. Cool stuff.
- Larry Young's True Facts (Amazon link)
- (I first heard about this via Warren Ellis's website. It's an excellent practical guide on diy comics. It feels like a manifesto. )

Eddie Campbell posts about his first comics here. (If you haven't read After the Snooter, Campbell's comic about growing up, it's recommended. An affecting portrait, and perhaps my favorite of all time.)
