I am a syndicated cartoonist who has worked with DC Comics/Warner Bros & Marvel. Other clients include Cartoon Network, Hasbro, Hallmark, CBS, Showtime, BMW, The Nerdist, Whataburger, Chick-fil-A, Arby’s, Olive Garden and many more. My work has appeared in a New York Times bestseller, ComicBook Men (AMC), @Midnight (Comedy Central) and The Tonight Show (NBC). I have even been a panelist at San Diego Comic-Con and Wondercon.
I don't take a job of this size lightly, so I want to make sure we are a good fit, because 1000 pages is a lot of work! That said, I am very interested. I do all my own layouts, pencils, inking, text (if needed) and coloring. I can deliver the final in any format you need. Your budget worries me a little bit because you ask for 4-5 panels/page x 1000, at $10000-$20000-- that equates to $2-$4/panel or $10-$20/page... for full-color pages... I would need something much closer to $60/page if you want any quality.
If you are willing to discuss these prices, I'd love to talk with you about this project. It sounds awesome and I know I could deliver a fantastic product to you. Please let me know.
All the best,
