Comic book jobs are never easy to find, but here are three that look, well, different.

Anarchy Management is a “management company that represents writers/directors and independent comic book publishers.” They need an intern to do coverage and make development notes – from home – and if you do well, you’ll get invited to meetings with production companies as management’s sidekick. Alas, college credit only.

According to this odd little website called Bilingual Manga, a comic book company is looking for freelance manga artists, who are “Japanese, English, French, (or) Chinese,” and who don’t have “too much sex & violence.” If your samples can pass through their application process, then you could land an assignment from them. Payment “depends on skills, genre.”

If you don’t care for either of those options, you might like talking to frustrated consumers on the telephone as a Customer Service Representative. I wouldn’t, but maybe someone else would.

Spherion is “a staffing and recruitment industry leader” that’s “currently working with a dynamic Fortune 500 organization.” This is all jobspeak for a call center position at a gaming company where you’ll handle “inbound calls regarding inquiries about video games, board games, and comic books.”

It’s a contract assignment, with varying shifts that pay between $10.50 and $11.00 per hour. I can’t imagine what kind of troubleshooting you’d have to do for comic books. “Sir, check to see if the staples are intact. If they are, then slowly turn the comic to the first page. Just like opening a book or a magazine. That first page is sometimes called the splash page. The credits are usually under the title of the story.”

Good luck, job seekers!
