Most comic creators don’t struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because the industry rarely teaches the business side of art. Nobody shows you how to build an audience from scratch, how to market your work with confidence, or how to pitch and sell your books. The harsh reality is that creating an incredible comic and building a sustainable comic project are two entirely different skills.

​

I know this firsthand. After years of working with entrepreneurs, teaching business strategy, and studying the deep mechanics of storytelling, I kept noticing the exact same pattern among the creators I met. They had the passion, the vision, and the raw talent—but they completely lacked a roadmap.

 

Comics have always been my anchor. When I was a kid, they literally taught me how to read, helped me master English, and gave me a sanctuary when I was too shy to feel like I fit in anywhere else. Years later, looking at the industry through the lens of business strategy, a massive realization hit me: independent comic creators and startup entrepreneurs are actually facing the exact same challenges.

​

Both are trying to bring a raw idea into the world, fight through uncertainty, communicate value, and find a dedicated audience. The only difference? Entrepreneurs have access to proven frameworks, agile methodologies, and testing tools. Most comic creators are left guessing in the dark.

​

That’s why I created El Comicólogo.

I Believe Comic Creators Are Entrepreneurs (Whether They Realize It or Not)

 

Today’s creators can no longer afford to just be writers and artists; you are also your own publisher, marketer, community builder, and CEO. While it’s tempting to wish someone else would just handle the promotion and sales, the truth is that communicating your value is a vital part of the creative process itself.

​

The good news is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Entrepreneurs have spent decades refining frameworks to test ideas, build communities, and launch sustainable projects. Those exact same lessons can be reverse-engineered to help you.

Because I Don't Just Teach Comics. I Make Them Too.

​

I don’t just preach these frameworks from an academic tower—I stress-test them every day in the trenches through my own sequential art projects:

​

• Monday, I Choose You: A comic strip exploring the raw, emotional realities of creative work, from deadline anxiety and convention exhaustion to fighting the soul-crushing algorithms.

• Supervillain Dad: A comedy series exploring the chaotic intersection of parenting, superheroes, and everyday domestic struggles.

• Dadzinger: A classic family sitcom disguised as an epic world of giant robots and kaiju.

 

My goal here is simple: to help you build a sustainable project, connect with the exact right audience, and avoid the devastating, costly mistakes that stall creative careers for years.
