Sumilang: The Pitch that Never Was...

I tried last year to pitch a comic book anthology series to a local publisher, it was composed of 4 titles and was aimed at boys and girls who love action adventure tales ala Naruto, Totally Spies, Marvin Mystery, One Piece etc. On a good note the publisher seemed interested, the low side however was they were practically offering us peanuts to do the book and the inane clause that if ever we do the book thru them we should not do any local work with any of the local comicbook publishers particularly Mangaholix by the Groundbreakers and the then still active defunct NeoComics group. Exclusivity contracts are fine and dandy, only if you do get paid enough not to look for other jobs. With the rate they were offering us... Id rather not comment more, safe to say those rates do not warrant exclusivity...

here is one of the stories I wrote for the Pitch...
