the matt fraction cavalcade of whimsy

So, just a quick question (really quick), do you just write any and everything now? Where do you find the time for all of this?

What other Fraction titles are you currently reading?

Just stuff that interests me.

y'just do it. time compresses with publication though so it looks misleading. you work consistently long enough and it looks crazier than it is.

and thank you, everybody, for saying the nice things up there.

**Arion** · 04-30-2012, 01:42 PM

What ? I never said anything nice.

Oh wait, I did.

Cheers,

I sortof figured.

How do you go about getting in with Marvel (or DC, or whatever else) [generally]? Do you call them or will they call you?

i knew editors and writers and aritsts from shows and the web; whenever i made work (film or animation or comics) i tended to give it to people of whom I was a fan; later that paid off as Axel Alonso called me on the strength of my first graphic novel to pitch on PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL.

So what worked for me was: do work, and give it to people who can hire you. now, there were hundreds of pages of pitches that nobody but me, axel, or axel's then-assistant Warren Simons ever saw, but i had a day job that i liked so i could wait and keep trying.
