Well, I did finish it last year, it just took me a stupidly long time to get around to sorting out the front cover!

If I can be bothered / brave enough, get some shops to stock it, and send it to publishers as an example of my amazing comix skillz, bo.

Firstly, need staples so I can staple on the covers.
I'm so bad at this, this is why I need to stop self-publishing and sell out to the man.

Thank you  The guts of the comic book are usually easy enough because I can find cheap/free photocopying most of the time. It's the front covers that are difficult because colour copynig can be a) boring and b) pricey, so if he can help with covers that would be great... especially if he can print on cardstock or glossy paper, which I can't get hold of. They'd usually be A4 size. |

Robin is muchly skilled at printing, and has a scarey knowledge of all things paper (quality, sizes, weights and other things unique to th paper world such as "knap"?) So are these pages (or covers) A4 folded in half or A4 each? - let me know and I'll give him a call - What sort of numbers are required (I think 50 & 100 are discounted on colour copies)

Ooh, well Different Boy is A4 folded in Half.
I do have another project - "Where is the World?" It's up to three issues so far, and if he could do some covers for those thatwould be brilliant. They're in colour, and an A3 sheet folded in half. And I haven't started to copy the internal pages yet, so I would probably do at least 50 of each issue, maybe even more.
And if the A3 is expensive, I don't have a problem shrinking the comic down to an A4 folded in half, if I could get it double sided.
(Thank you Ben!)

Just one more question - I feel like Columbo, Are the covers Full or alf duplex (both sides or One side?)

Well, All my covers are only on one side of the paper so far, because I don't want to spend money on double sided colour photocopying. But if a decent printing place is involved, I might do both sides. If we were to shrink Where is the World into A5 / folded A4 size, I would prob do double sided, because my present back cover contains very small writing that wouldn't show up if it was reduced. Am I being clear or confusing? Sorry  |
