"We're delighted to have Paul join us in our exploration of the craft of creating comics," ComicsCareer.Com publisher Kirk Chritton said.

In a day when many names come and go, Paul knows better than most what it takes to build an enduring career as a writer and comics creator."

The column will run each Monday over an eight-week stretch. "Paul's topics include the importance of spontaneity, finding your voice, working with -- or without -- an agent, and life beyond comics," Chritton said. Kupperberg is also the featured creator in the site's most recent "10 Questions for Comics Creators" interview, a daily feature that spotlights writers and artists.
