Do comic strip writers earn a lot of money? like those whom publish stories in tokyopop? -

i was hoping to become a comic strip writer, so thats why..|::::|Depends on what you re writing. American comics have declined a bit over the years in popularity, and they have a small target audience (usually young boys and then a few collectors). However, if you re talking about tokyopop and you re interested in writing manga, that s a little different. In Japan, being a mangaka (a manga artist, like American comic strip artists) is a more well-respected position, and manga is always growing in popularity as more cultures worldwide are gaining an interest in Japanese popular culture. Also, manga has a larger target audience, because it is written for all ages (for example, shonen for boys, shojo for girls, seinen for young men, and josei for young women). You can make a very good living being a manga artist as long as you have good ideas and talent. . . however, you will probably have to go to Japan to really succeed with it gt;lt; (there are still some popular mangas that originate from outside of asia, but they re more rare) However, if you have a lot of talent, keep working hard! ^^ Try publishing online comics as well (those are very popular right now, and many kids are being discovered that way by larger companies). Good luck and I hope to see your comics being published someday!|::::|Actually, comic books are collected by adult men amp; some women. Comics haven t been child-safe since the early 90s. Report Abuse |::::|Comic strip writers are not the same type at all as mangaka or american comicers. The strip makers can make about $50 a strip last I checked. but that was probably the late 90s. If they make that for just a single strip, I would imagine comicers amp; mangakas make more.
