Comic book companies are hiring celebrity writers such as Kevin Smith, Anita Blake and Stephen King to write scripts for their books. Movie studios are snatching up even the most obscure comic-book heroes -- the Punisher or Elektra, anyone? -- and making major feature films about their exploits. Comics are more literate than ever, and they're increasingly gaining a reputation as "real" art.

No wonder that so many writers are so eager to break into the field.

Not only are comics more respected, they're also a blast to write. There are things writers can do in the comics medium -- with timing, pacing and suspense -- that they just can't do in any other prose form.

It's too bad, then, that there's so little money to be made for comics writers, especially those who can't draw.
