Chris Wisnia's Resume!

Here's a real treat to fans! I hope it will help all you aspiring comics professionals! Before I began my serious professional comics career, I spent many years waiting in portfolio review lines, sending packages to publishers, and not getting any work. Here is an exact duplicate of the resume I used to submit for these processes. I don't recommend you use this technique for youselves, as it never garnered me any work, and ultimately drove me to self-publishing! -- Chris
