2 books & slipcase

I had these done by David Banks when he had his summer sale. There were several tricky aspects, ranging from the binding order to construction of chapter break inserts.

All ad pages and back covers are removed. Miracleman specific ads are included as unobtrusively as possible.

For Book II, Neil Gaiman and Mick Anglo, I kept in the cardstock covers, because most of them are signed by Gaiman!

The Robot6 Blog just posted a bunch of photos from writer/artist Jeff Lemire‘s studio and it turns out he’s had a few books bound. It should come as no surprise that his bound volumes include lots of Legion of Super-Heroes books if you’re familiar with his love of the Superboy character.

I wonder what other popular comic creators are into comic binding?

It’s definitely not an easy or cheap process. However, if you’re interested in this hobby, I’d like to recommend the online tutorial at Indiana University’s Library Press. It’s a well documented and photographed, step-by-step guide that shows the entire binding process. They even use a stack of paper/pamphlets that resemble comic books.

So, anyone going to try and do their own books now?

I’d like to point everyone over to http://www.donnyd.com/comics/, not only does he have a great list of binding related resources, he also has a great template generator that’s handy for creating your custom covers for binding your books. Head on over to Donny D’s site and give it a try and be sure to say thanks for this handy utility.

Since I’m just starting to work on my first set of binds, but I want to contribute some content, I thought I’d post a quick grab of one of my custom covers I’m working on. The first batch of books I send off to LBC will all have custom covers. I wanted some sort of template to use – thinking I’d have different ones for Marvel and DC.

Using the Essential and Showcase volumes as a starting point, here’s what I’ve got so far for Shogun Warriors 1-20 (and Fantastic Four #226).

Still very much a work in progress – but it’s getting close. I’ve got to come up with a consistent spine design. Might use something similar to the DC Showcase Presents books and change it up a little for Marvel.

The background on the back cover is a page from Shogun Warriors #1 with a half-tone filter applied and then the colors overlaid on it. I think it came out looking pretty cool.
