I picked up Paul Kupperberg's book via the Kickstarter campaign that funded it and I'm quite delighted with it.There are so many books on the nuts-and-bolts of comic book scripting, some better than others. But I Never Write For the Money... shows the reader what it was like to WORK as a comic writer back in the day, and what can happen when editorial tides and market tastes change.It's a pretty swift, but fulfilling, read. There's plenty of insights into the professional writing process from being a fan to trying to become a paid professional in the field, all accompanied with the usual humor from Paul. And while the articles are info-packed, the last third of the book is an interview with the author that fills in the gaps in the preceding narrative.From first page to last, it's clear that Paul's more than just a "funnybook" writer, but also a teacher of great insight. Highly recommended.
