How do I pull off professional grade comic books?
I've been doing a lot of research on illustration software and accessories. However, there is only so many articles that you can read about software. I guess I have to buy it to find out if it really works for me. Who really has $500 to shell out on a guess these days. So, my question for the Media Arts community is this: Which is the most professional and easy-to-use illustration software available? What accessories do I need. Doing using a mouse is terribly inaccurate and cumbersome. I always use paper, but understand that it is pointless to continue using that medium if I want to get noticed. So, do I go with Adobe Illustrator CS4 or Manga Suite Debut 4. Do I use Bamboo Tablet?? I have a Windows laptop. I think I am really at a lose on how to effectively or fully use illustration software. Thanks for reading and for your suggestions.
Well, I use Manga Studio Debut 4 (I don't have the money for Pro)
and I bought a medium-size bamboo tablet for 70 bucks. I've seen some great work where the artist only used pencil as well, so you could get noticed either way. Here, I'll show you:
Manga Studio:

Versus pencil and photoshop work:

The latter is much more tedious and requires you to be good with photoshop, while manga studio makes the process a lot quicker and cleaner, though you will have to practice a lot to adjust to the pen tablet.
