AWA Studios is a creative business that offers deals for creators and purchasing terms for comic retailers. The company gives creators the opportunity and incentives to work on two stories; one that the creator owns and one that AWA owns. This quid pro quo deal is a fair deal in the industry. In the case of creator-owned stories, the artists and writers own the intellectual property rights in their work and receive generous per-page payment. This gives creators the opportunity to have a stake in their work, as well as the means to take creative risks. Creators who contribute to AWA-owned stories receive publishing and licensing royalty payments for their individual series, participation in a common royalty pool, and an option to purchase shares of AWA common stock.
