Hey Potential Writer,
I'm a comic book artist, my name is Tim. My site is www.timsnotebook.com/comics
I have a 43 page fantasy comic penciled and many pages inked colored in serious need of re-writing.
What I propose is to have you as the writer, putting words in the balloons etc. and I letter and finish the pages. We set up a Patreon site where a new finished page gets uploaded every other week. Patreon is a crowdfunding 'tip jar' where people contribute money towards completing a project. In this case it would be a 150 page graphic novel.
You keep the first $100 raised for each page. A new page appears every other week. Anything over that we split evenly.
The Story:
Strega:
"Winsome smile or sword tip; both are effective weapons against this world of men."
That's pretty much the theme of Strega, it's the story of two sisters, one's a warrior type on the run who has magic spells, the other is and always has been desired by men, and uses her influence with them to gain power. Think Xena versus Paris Hilton, with a bit of LOTR.
I made a private link to a html sequential comic book page view of 43 pages, some finished, most just pencil. The text is gobble-dy gook. It needs a real pro to put just the right inflections in their mouths.
Here's the link (it's separate from my website, although the first few pages may look like they're on it. They're copies).

Here's the link to a very rough overview of what the first five chapters (each 8 pages long) are up to:

And finally here's just the rough draft script as is, with the actual text broken down page by page and panel by panel.

To reiterate:
You the writer (getting full credits for it) are re-writing all the text on each page (maybe keep page one as is, it took me FOREVER to come up with just the right tone in the narration -Hecate is narrating). Also, to make this work you must be writing through several pages at a time, so that I can see where the narrative flow is heading, and to solve logistical problems early on.
I put the words in and ink and color each page, make it all pretty like.
You drum up support through a Patreon http://www.patreon.com/ page (that we share but you manage) with a regular new page schedule of a new page every other week.
You keep a nominal sum from the Patreon proceeds for your writing and marketing work; $100 for each page. We split the remainder, if any.
Sound like a plan?
Take your time to read through the script, and please feel free to email me if you're interested: larsen.tim4@gmail.com
I tried to keep the story line as easy to understand as I could.
-Tim.

On that page I feel I had the slightly medieval looking font just the right size and shape, so you can adjust the amount of text in the balloons accordingly.
