: I'm an aspiring comic book artist/wannabe animator (don't worry i'm not asking for a job) I just want to kno if it is possible to get a job in the comic book industry with no college background. I'm in college now and i hate it. I want to get my stuff out there. I've been told i'm very talented numerous times (so many times even i'm starting to believe it) and i'm wondering if it's possible to make it in the buisness on talent alone. How did you do it?
He, um, made the movies which got him a big enough name to do comics?
j/k. Only reason I wanted to make this post was to say, basically, don't leave college if you don't have somewhere else to go, banking on the fact that your talent will one day be discovered. Yeah, college sucks, but learning the basics anywhere will suck.
