To find information on how to get a grant for a comic book:
The Xeric Foundation is probably the only comic book foundation that I have found that helps self publishing comic book artist get a start in the comic book industry. The Foundation offers financial assistance to fully committed, self- publishing comic book creators. You have to apply for the grant which reviews your proposal on a semiannual basis. This site is a must for any self publishing comic book artist or anyone looking for some help in starting your comic book.

For free comic book fonts:
Blambot Fonts is my favorite site for the comic book lettering artists. There are so many different types of fonts and sound effect fonts on this site. There are also different types of comic book balloons you can download to use. I recommend this site to anyone who is learning to letter comic books. Even if you are just looking for some cartoon like fonts this is also a great site to look at.
