Steve Colle

Steve Colle has worn many hats in his 30+ years in the comic industry:

Retailer; Writer; Submissions editor; Editor-in-chief; Freelancer; Art director; Creative and business consultant; Instructor to creators, editors, and publishers; Founder and administrator of the comic editor-centric Comic Book Editors Alliance; and finally, Mentor.

Steve believes that his success comes from the successes of his students, clients, and creators. This drives him to always strengthen and support others, both in this industry and in all of his life dealings.

Chelsea Crutchley, creator of STRAY SOD (http://comic.chelseacrutchley.com/comic/issue-1-print-cover/), shared her thoughts:

“I had been self-publishing my comic for three years, and believed it was as good as I could make it. Steve’s suggestions not only fine-tuned my panels, they also make me more conscious of choices I make in future pages. His insights into the industry have also helped me focus my energy on more specific goals. Not only is my current project improving, but with his help I am developing new skills and confidence as a creator.”

Warcorns, Chris Tadlock

I’m extremely grateful for the love that has been shown towards Warcorns: Combat Unicorns for Hire. This project was very special for me to make as I got to honor some of the incredible people that I had the pleasure of serving with in the US military. However, this award truly belongs to the creative team that made this book as beautiful as it is. Chris Williams, Jeremy Clark, and Tommy Shelton brought their top notch talent to this piece just as they do with everything they’ve done with me. I’m honored and humbled that they continue to work with me. Thank you.-Garrett Gunn
