Writing Comic Books For Marvel Or Dc - Studentscholarships.org
The ultimate job would have to be writing original, creator-owned comic books for one of the main companies such as Marvel or DC. Writing for a living is something that I would love to do because I would be able to bring my ideas to life. The characters that I dreamed about, the worlds that I wanted to explore, the events that I created all could be brought out so that the entire world could see them. The biggest challenge would be the fear of waiting to see if people loved your ideas or hated them. It would be difficult for me to accept if one of my characters were to fail because I have become attached to each and everyone, but the failure would only prompt me to work harder on my ideas. The trial and error aspect of the job would let me understand what the readers wanted and help me figure out how to keep them entertained. Of course, because no job is perfect there would be a downside.
The downside would have to be the fact that it is very hard to break into the business as a Comic Book writer. Even if you can get into the business, writers do not get the recognition that the artists get. Even if you were the creator of a comic book that was popular, chances are that the artist would get most of the attention. The attitude of people today is that if there was no artist, the material would not get out. That may be true, but at the same time, it there were no writers, the artists would not have anything to draw. I wouldn’t be able to handle it if an artist got credit for my work. It isn’t that I want all of the credit. I just would like to get the credit I deserved. If the artist and writer got equal credit then there would be no downside to being a writer. Of course, the fact that someone loves your work should be reward enough.
One of the most amazing things I could ever hope to happen to me is if I was able to create something that the population embraced. It is my dream to create something that becomes more than a character. I want to create an icon. I want to have something that becomes so popular that it outlasts me. Superman and Batman have been around for almost half a decade and are still popular even though their creators have passed on. I want to make something with that kind of staying power. That would be my dream come true to know that I created something that was truly successful.
Comic books are always changing and evolving. Comic books have become a part of the mainstream and their subject matter has expanded. I want to be part of this evolution and take comic books to the next level. That is my dream.

what happened to Captain America's costume? marvel fans, help!?
back when i was a kid , i remember captain america having a wing like icon on each side of his mask,(on the head).. i didn't saw him for quite sometime until i've watched the ultimate avegers, he lost that little "wing thing" on his head.. what's the story behind it.. is there a story? or the artist just find it silly so he took it off?? marvel fans help?? i'm just curious..
Yes his original/real costume had wings on his head.
But ALL of the heroes have been resign when they entered the Marvel's "Ultimate" universe.
More info can be found be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Marvel
The "Ultimate" franchise is an attempt to reach and appeal to a modern age of audience.
For example, Spiderman is a 16-year old web-programmer instead of an older photographer and Nick Fury is a younger black guy instead of an older white guy.
The ultimate artist must have thought that Captain America's wings would have looked too silly for the modern audience so they removed it (yeah i couldn't adjust to his new look for a while too... I still miss the wings).
