Zahra's Paradise

I talked to Amir, the pseudonymous writer of Zahra’s Paradise, for this week’s Unbound column at Robot 6, and I also checked in with First Second director Mark Siegel about his plans for the comic.

Local paper The Tennessean has an interesting interview with Scott Christian Sava, creator of The Dreamland Chronicles, that includes a frank discussion of the financial risks he has taken in order to be a comics creator. Good stuff. Also, Joshua Smeaton talks about Haunted, which is making the move to print. (Both via The Webcomic Overlook)

A glitch at Amazon has Augie De Bleick Jr. thinking about pricing of digital comics at Comic Book Resources.

At Comics Alliance, David Brothers takes a look at Viz’s online manga site, SigIKKI.com, and sees the future of comics.

Erica Moen designs the cover of her print anthology. (Via Robot 6.)

The second print volume of The Original Johnson will be out in May.

The Casual Webcartoonist takes on the sticky subjects of pricing your work and working for free.
