I have friends who are struggling comics illustrators and I was quite surprised to find “Komiks Illustration” as part of the compendium’s training program. You may not know it but there are local comics illustrators who earn big money illustrating for foreign comics companies in the U.S., Japan etc. Please, could you help give more info on this. Comics as a visual medium is an untapped creative industry.
