Greg Rucka Maintains Integrity As A Freelance Comics Writer, So Alex Jaffe Thinks You Can Too

What do you do when the large media companies that contract you try to push you around? Greg can help you with that.

Greg Rucka is the New York Times bestselling author of hundreds of comics and novels. He has written for publishing houses like DC & Marvel on some of their biggest titles, and is also known for his original works like Lazarus and The Old Guard, which he then adapted into a film for Netflix starring Charlize Theron.

“To be a writer requires this bizarre tension between arrogance and humility. You have to believe that what you’re doing is worth somebody spending money to read, but at the same time you need to remain humble enough to know what you don’t know, to not believe your own press, to keep seeking to improve, to keep trying to take these swings - with the knowledge you’re going to miss some of ‘em!”
