The COMPLETE DOOMLORD by Wagner & Grant, plus Henry Flint Sketch

[Rio De Fideldo]

They look great. So many comics strips from the past that I would love to own in collections like that. I don't suppose you could elaborate on the process. How long did it take you to scan the pages? Did you send the files to a professional printer and binder? Have you plans for any more collections?

How much did each book cost? I'm guessing at least a complete Zenith each!

I was only a fiver over my overdraft limit and the bastards are charging me a complete Zenith for the privilege.

Normally the Goodyears are 60 quid each, but I can do you a new front pair for a complete Zenith if you're paying cash.

I know a monkey's £500, but how many ponies make a complete Zenith?


Someone needs to contact Suzie Dent from the Oxford English Dictionary - she loves this kind of thing.

This time I treated myself to an a3 scanner. This meant the pages could lie really flat. I made sure to write the page number on every page before cutting them out and scanning. I resized and retouched them in photoshop at 300dpi- the photo stories were a right pest because of the black bar and they bleed to the edge of the page. I tweaked the contrast before importing all the files to Indesign. This allows the pages to be seen as double page spreads plus add page numbers and titles to multiple pages at once. Designing the contents, cover and extras is the fun part. These 3 books (approx 1350 pages) have taken over 6 months to format. I printed them out myself - having a duplex (double sided)  printer is advisible. The local bookbinder charges £45 per book for thesis (a4) binding which includes blocking type on the spine. Getting Henry Flint, Dylan Teague and chris Weston to do convention sketches was the icing on the cake. Finding extras from the superb Hibernia doomlord book (my inspiration) and the Eagle flies again was also great fun.

You're thinking of Sgt. Streetwise.

They're pretty much all Jose Ortiz pages.

[robert_ellis]

Yes all Ortiz in the weekly. Only the 3 holiday special/annual stories were by other artists. A truly amazing run

How about House of Daemon then. I used to love that. Hell, even my mum used to read that.
