Umm er..last time I looked at a comic department, all the American ones looked Japanese styled. Even Spiderman was looking a bit Japanese styled.

Umm er...perhaps. Eh-heh. ^^;
I don't really remember that for sure. But I remember reading something one time about Americans who became Japanese mangaka. And I thought it was Cutie Honey. Though maybe it was Dirty Pair.

Ummmm...what? I guess I'm not good at wording things well.
I just figure the easiest job for a foreigner to get in Japan would be English teacher. And so being foreign would make it twice as difficult to make it in Japan as a comic maker than it would be in one's native country.
As in...an American would have an easier time getting in Marvel than they would getting into Kodansha.
