Is This is a FALSE Debate?

People constantly debate whether writers or artists are more important in comics—but that argument misses something crucial.

In this video, I explain why the “writer vs artist” debate is largely a false dichotomy, why creators and fans evaluate value very differently, and how professional incentives shape perspective. I also talk about why stories tend to be what fans discuss long-term, while artists remain absolutely vital to elevating and realizing those stories on the page.

This isn’t about dismissing either role—it’s about understanding why people talk past each other in this conversation.
