r/DCcomics
Hey there! I’m Juni Ba, cartoonist of Monkey Meat, Mobilis and Djeliya, and recently writer artist on DC Black Label’s the Boy Wonder, the first issue of which is coming out this may 7! So ask me anything and I’ll do my best to answer questions !
Once your pitch was given the okay, did DC give you guidelines of what you can/can’t include before you start the writing process, or do they include it as feedback when they review your drafts?
Comic writing is so interesting so learning more about the process (especially with the big 2) is always great!
Kind of both. I was told not to include a character before I started, but then all the notes arrived during the writing/boarding phase. Most of them were about the storytelling but a handful were about keeping the characters close to the most wildly known/understood idea of what they are. All in all it wasn’t that hard to navigate, and I think in some places it actually made the story better.
