It became the first place that regularly told people when their favorite comics were coming out and which writers and artists were working on them. Because of the magazine, I won the awards for The Comic Reader, but more important, it got many of the people in the field to know who I was.One day, when I was visiting DC Comics for news for my next issue, one of the editors offered me a chance to write text for his comic. Suddenly, at 16, I was getting paid to write.I was able to pay for my college classes working as an assistant editor at DC Comics and learned how to write comics stories while I was there. I wrote hundreds of stories. Over the years, I worked as an editor and an executive( 主管 )for the company, eventually serving as president and publisher, until earlier this year. Now Im back to my first love, writing comics again.Every morning, I open my e-mail and find pages of art sent in by artists across the country who draw my stories. When Im tired of working on the stories, I can go online and find my readers commenting on my stories or telling me when I make mistakes.Keep reading and writing its a wonderful way to live.5.
