My first instinct?

Get a laywer.

If this project you've started has involved any kind of monetary compensation, or any agreements you think might be binding, go to a lawyer. Right now. I'm not kidding.

Get in the car, and drive to the nearest law firm. If they won't accept walk-ins, go to another one. If the guy is on lunch break, beg. Do what it takes. I know of some law firms where I live where they will accept 30 minute appointments with walk-ins.

Go. Go now.

Take all the material you can get your hands on, show it to the lawyer, explain what's happening and that you don't necessarily want to press charges, but you want to know what parts of the comic you can keep.

Yes, the fee might be a little expensive, but here's the thing: a lawyer shows you mean business, a good lawyer is going to back you up and not let the other person get away with shit, and the best part is if they give you good advice, you can take your part of the comic back and start anew. You might even be able to make the comic better, and you will certainly find the experience to be that creative experience you love, and not the hell you face now.

Starting anew might also be pretty rough, but you sound like you have the determination and creativity to strike out on your own. Next time you will know to be a little more guarded when selecting a co-author, and then you can even keep your lawyer on standby to make sure there are clear boundaries with your new co-authoring relationship.

Best of luck, OP. No one deserves to be emotionally or physically abused like that, and you need to put your body and mind over this comic.

If the comic is at all a serious commercial endeavor and not just a fan thing, that is an excellent idea.
