Friday Archive Dive: Collaborations

Today's Archive Dive comes from Sept. 17, 2009, in a Q&A post about collaborations.

Q: How can you strike a balance between a writer and an artist? As an artist, I'm not so story-driven when it comes to creating something. I want to put the cool ideas down on paper and -- BAM! -- call it done. My writer, however, wants to write AND control the drawing process to where he lays out the panels in detail, and leaves little of the creative process up to me, making me feel stifled.

Our comic isn't up yet, but the story has been written for years. How can I set our writer/artist relationship at the beginning so we don't have to step on each others toes later on?
