I don't advice a totally free distribution just like that because even your sponsors will need to see some indices it's popular and selling.

That now reminds of me of Supa Strikas which originally started off in Nigeria before it was sold to South African investors. Nigeria isn't where they make the bulk of their money but other countries where they sell better. They still sell for N200,mainly because of their many sponsors of their comics.

Find your own way to make the free+premium aka freemium model work for you. Do you have a team down to handle everything from the script,pencils/inks,colors,lettering and layout design?!! That's a major determination in this campaign. You also need to be attending Comic Connect Africa part of the Lagos Theatre Festival which holds annually in March powered by Comic Republic Media/British Council for Arts and Lagos ComicCon which holds annually in September powered by Mustard Communication/Comic Panel,all in Lagos.cheers

NGMontana:
I appreciate the reply bro.
I actually was thinking of a free distribution model, because I surely don't want to sell my comics for 1k +. I am more interested in it going around, I mean deep penetration then monetizing through sponsors I feel sponsors would key in if they know their adverts is gonna be seen by a lot of eyes.

But I just had a second thought that it doesn't hurt if I am able to sell for like say N100 per issue or N200 and make some profits. I want my issues to be a 10 page color booklet but it looks like I can't get a profit selling at N100 or N200 so I might be sticking to my free distribution model.

I initially wanted to go at it on my own, but eventually I knew it's too much work for one person so I am in the process of putting a team together now. Thanks for your contributions man.

You are welcome. It really depends on you and how much time you have. I've worked as a cover page artist,colorist and letterer most times but no solo comic in my portfolio. I learnt the hard way when bidding a few times,clients want to see what you have done say 4-8page mini comic. So i've to work on those this year even if it's fan art.
In your case,yes,it's better to bring a team together to get things done faster. You can join these following groups on Facebook i'm on:
Nigerian Comic Artists Group
Association of Comic Makers of Nigeria
Kugali - Afrimation,Comics and Games (pan-African)
How to Draw Comics (International)
All the best.
