Have y'all comics obsessed schizos ever considered that
>I must get stellar at art and make comics to tell my stories
might be a giant spook?
Even in Europe comics are still a very niche medium largely viewed as childish or exploitative - after all, the majority of it is little more than softcore porn and escapist pulpy genre fic. Even 'serious' comics are viewed as cope: 'Gee, if there's retards out there who can't handle a full page of text, guess it's good some kind soul is trying to talk to them about important stuff through pictures'. You're seriously limiting yourself and your reach if you consign yourself to working in this medium. Book still exist, ADHD zoomer gamers with fried dopamine receptors aren't the only market and even among zoomers there are a lot who still read by the way.
If your stories are that good, establish yourself as an author and artists will be lining up to work with you. Or you can publish some of your own art then, and even if it's average, people will view you as a Renaissance person instead of some ngmi schizo. For instance, Tolkien's illustrations for his own work are often praised, even though they're basically what most of /ic/ would shit on as bland /beg/ schlock.
