The first submission to Marvel

First Comics Submission.

This section offers a sneak-peek at my first comics submission ever - sent to Marvel Comics!

It was written by my good friend Glenn Herdling while we were both freshmen at Bucknell University Thanks, G!

By the way, Glenn has worked at both MARVEL COMICS and WIZARD ENTERTAINMENT! Too cool!

Hopefully, this will get you laughing!

Enjoy! I hope you enjoy them!

It all starts innocently enough - me in class at Bucknell University! Well, maybe not too innocently - I'm caught cheating on an exam!!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I NEVER EVER cheated while at Bucknell! Honest!

Busted by...Darth Vader!!!! What's he doing here?!?!

Actually, I wanted the villain to be Dr. Doom, but I could only find photo reference on Vader so.......

Daredevil and the X-Men rush in to save me from Vader's evil influence!!

Man, was I lucky they happened to be in Lewisburg!

YOWZA!! Vader is toast - literally!!!!

But....whose is the face under Vader's mask?????

It's ME - if I continue down the road of evil!!!!

Nothing is more interesting that a CROSS-ROAD ending!!

THE RESULT??

I'm sure you see why I was REJECTED this first time!

I'm glad I persevered. It took YEARS of practice and patience to finally strike my reward -- in fact, it took an additional 8 YEARS of hard work after this first submission -- to get me to my first assignment from Marvel Comics!

But I persevered -- and here I am today!

If I can do it -- so can YOU! Which is exactly why I've written an in-depth set of tutorials to equip you to succeed in this mission!
