We’re back from Cape Cod.
The writing course went better than I could have hoped. Dave Seidman, who’s taught courses on comic book writing, gave me some pointers and direction as to what to do, so that helped a good deal. But what really worked out was the quality of students I had. It wasn’t a huge class–it’s the first time that they’ve had a comic book writing course there–but this was a case of quality versus quantity as story concepts and script ideas were batted around and the students actually helped each other in developing their various scripts. A special guest came by on Friday: Paul Levitz, who happened to be on vacation with his family in Cape Cod. He spoke to the class about the business side of comic books (who better?) and joined in our group discussion about “Watchmen” (which is a terrific work to analyze as part of a class since it’s such a textbook vision of how to do comics right.)
Overall it was a great experience.
