How do authors collaborate?

The character Emily in Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi

Kazu Kibuishi explained in an interview with Kai-Ming Cha of Publishers Weekly:^[1]

"I think Flight is a prime example of how [a graphic novel] can be done fairly well. The general public, readers and fans think of the final product as a graphic novel. Sometimes the word "anthology" is used, and I don't like it. Flight is a collaboration. Everyone involved is creating the works they want to create and at a higher frequency than they're able to put out the rest of their work. Like Michel Gagne—he gets to take the time to produce his work. He doesn't get stressed out. The book gets done as long as we work together. It requires teamwork. Even with Amulet. I send out the script to close friends, people whose opinions I trust. It's another team project and it's been great, too. To get that feedback has helped me out so much. I know where all the kinks are, but I don't always know how to solve them or understand what the kink is. So getting the feedback and finding out the kinks, I find out if this type of person were to read this book, I need to worry about these types of things. I like working with other people in general."
