>Writer and penciller are separate positions
that's why comics are losing.
Japan allows the artist to have an unified message in his work, while in America the text and images compete against each other for attention and space.
It took AGES before hero comics stopped describing everything that was appearing in the panels.
How can any sane person see this and say "this is the superior medium". Tezuka in his first manga already knew this was dumb.
Even in mangas that the writer and artist are separate positions the text doesn't compete with the panels
