>>1456644Well, lets assume you're making a 40 page comic, which seems pretty average to me. That will run you 12-20k for art. The artist will take probably a good 3 months to make the art. Would you pay someone 48-80k per year as a comic artist?
Additionally, if your comic is any good, can you sell probably 50-70k worth of comics when factoring in distribution?
All questions you have to ask yourself.
Some artists are willing to work on a cut of the finished product, with little pay up front. Getting a nice sweet deal like this will require some charisma and business acumen on your part, but it's another option.
