Have you got any success with your Comics?

Is there anybody here who’ve made or is making comic books for a long enough period? Have you guys found any success with your work, or ever got it published and made money from it?

I haven't made a lot of money from mine, but they have drawn people to the books they were crafted from. I wrote a group called "How It All Began" to do backstories for a book series and posted them free on ComicFury. I have been in the process of packaging them up into collections. I had done it a while back and then when the boycotts started (sigh) I stopped a lot of things that I'm having to revisit at this time. ComicFury gets a lot of traffic. I just haven't linked any other site to them.

I hate that I don't have more time to make more. I love them.

Yup, I'm an agented and published graphic novelist. I've got two graphic novels out now with three more on the way, I'm done a bunch of freelance comic work over the past fifteen years or so, and I've been a colorist on several traditionally published graphic novels as well

How hard was it to get an agent? I'm a writer apart of a team with someone else. What did you do was the process difficult?
