Ever think of maybe getting a small 3 to 4 people together to do your comic book? Maybe put an ad out in the local paper to find a local comic book or wanna be comic book artist, and or inker or the other part you mentioned. You have managed people in the past. Present it on spec no pay other than a percentage of sales. When the six pages or so are ready to go, see if you can get a 1/4 scale version of the first two pages placed in the local Sunday paper, with an ad where people can go see and buy and get signed copies from the comic book team at the local book store, even if you have to wear a mask. People are getting bored and concerned like you and the young artist type people are always looking for the break to get noticed.
