How long should my comic be?
Since a comic usually has a letters page and a few advertisements, your story should be around 21-22 pages long for a 24 page comic or 28-30 pages long for a comic with 32 printed pages. Comic stories still have all the structural elements of a regular story: the rise in action, the climax, the denouement.
How much does it cost to publish a comic?
If you’re putting out a print comic on your own, without bulk printing prices, it porbably costs around $0.74 per copy to print with a 5000 print run. Not quite twice the cost as a bundled printing price, but close. If you sold out, you’d make around $4,000.

Can a writer get into the comics industry?
Writers will always have a tougher time breaking into the comics industry. Having said that – there’s always room for good writing, and a lot of publishers will still accept writing submissions. But conventional wisdom says to partner up with an artist if you can. An editor is more likely to read your words if it’s already on a sequential page.
