I really have a big desire to publish my own comic, but everything is expensive today, that destroys the talents, but I will try to do what ever it takes.

That’s why only rich people who have fame and love, I even can’t read any answer here for these askers, is that because most of comments are written by people less than 40 years old?
I am 19 years old and I want to publish my own comic.
that’s why I don’t blame Hackers, Pirates etc..
they look for best methods to help people for free instead of waiting for most of the stupid companies in this world, Companies only look for the money, where money goes and comes, not looking for talents, that’s why becoming hackers and pirates is increasing day after day.

(20) keev32 says:

thank you kootzi, I really liked this web site.
it saves a lot of money, and it avoids us from going after the stupid companies.

BEST WISHES…

I dont think my last comment was posted so im trying again. Just to let you know i have sold kootzi.com

I know longer have anything to do with it, and just to warn you i think they are turning it into an adult site.

If you all would still like a website for your creations please email me at
snorci1972@yahoo.co.uk

If i get 50 replys i will create a new name and get the website up and running. but i need at least 25 of you to let me know

Again just to let you know, i have nothing to do with kootzi.com anymore.

all the best to all and i hope to hear from you. I would love to create a site for comic creators, but i need your replys or answers. so please email me

I’m 17 and I made an Anime comic called Max Mandle. It’s an action life story about a 14 year old boy who is The Guardian Angel that must fight all the ominous undefeated forces of evil and defeat the Lord Severine, god of evil. People of all ages will love this story, I just want these comics to hit the stores, and I don’t know where to start……
