The three basic economic questions you need to answer for each of your comics are:

1. How many copies do you need to sell to make back the money you put into it?
2. How do you know if your comic is profitable?

As a comic book creator, you know that publishing comics is a complex process that involves multiple decisions around various business, creative, legal, marketing, and sales aspects of the book.
