Professional script development and writing service for your comics idea! For more information, contact me through my website at https://offtopic.davidraitt.com.
If you’re an aspiring comics artist, you know you need a great portfolio to showcase your work. That portfolio needs to include examples of sequential art – panels and pages – to demonstrate your ability to tell a story through your art.
Many artists know this, but lack the experience to write an engaging story they can then draw. So, they search for a writer to collaborate with. Online, they find hundreds of solicitations from writers, most promising that their script is the next “Alan Moore classic”. And then the writer argues with them when their great work doesn’t fit the writer’s “vision”.
But you have your own ideas, and wouldn’t it be more motivating – and FUN – to draw those instead?
If you’re looking for a way to express yourself, I can help!
I am a professional writer with over a decade’s experience writing and producing live theatre. (In 2008, I was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award for Best One-Person Show.) Like you, I aspire to make comics, and am now offering my writing and script development services to comics artists.
Your ideas and story remain your property and will be treated with discretion. I will sign non-disclosure agreements and releases if you wish. We will discuss your artwork and ideas, and I will help you develop your story, or improve on the one you’ve already begun. At the end of the process, you will have a complete, comics-ready script that you can draw and include in your portfolio.
What does the service cost? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I only request that you credit me as “writer” or “co-writer” for all submissions and/or publication. If you want a true “ghost-written” script, we can negotiate an acceptable fee up front.
However, this offer may expire at any time, as my unique service has generated a lot of interest, and my available time may fill up quickly. Don’t wait any longer – take that next step toward entering the comics industry TODAY!

***Serious inquiries only, please. You must be committed to working toward publication or recognition in the comics industry. I can only accept submissions for ideas that will appeal to a wide audience. And unfortunately, I’m not working on manga at this point in time.
A month after Marvel’s announcement that the book will be returning in May (see our article here), the buzz about Alpha Flight is showing no signs of waning. AF lovers are die-hard, passionate fans, and they’re as excited about the book’s return as we are on the creative team.
On my end, I’ve been working on variant covers and will be starting interiors this week. I’ll give you glimpses at the art whenever I can, so come by regularly.
However, if you want to be on the forefront of all things AF, join our forum, which we call The Agora. We just launched our forum last week, and pretty much the whole team, from editor to letterer, is on there. The goal is to create headquarters where we can give fans premium access to information, but also help garner support for the book: The only way this will become a monthly is if there is strong support for the book right off the bat, with monthly sales. So gather your friends, head to the forum, and pre-order your AF subscription at your local comic book store today!You can always access our forum by clicking on The Agora (tab in the top menu).
See you there!

“Alpha Flight” might be considered a “niche” title, but I was a big fan of the original John Byrne series long ago, and I’ll be interested to see what the plans are for the new version. Besides, isn’t it every Canadian’s patriotic duty to support our own superheroes?
It’s too big a graphic for this page, but here’s a link to a very thorough timeline of the various designs of Batman’s main ride through the years. Any of these would be damn fun to drive to work!
