BOOK COVER

many people who have met me... and had a conversation with me concerning the value of printing comics... can tell you that i'm known to declare things like "print is dead!" or "that it's not worth it!!"...my argument being usually "web-comics are the way to go!!!"

well, i'm going to print a book...mmm i'd have to say, what made me come around was all the requests i seem to get asking for a book at conventions, and all the positive things i've heard from other creators about their experiences using online print-on-demand services...well , the big question is... do the book color? or do the book with a color cover and black & white inside? the cost difference is large!! it costs way more to do it in full color.

so, i'm asking for my readers advice...for me personally, having color in my comics is not really that much of a priority...what do you think? would you pay more for the red blood? or would you prefer a better deal and can live with zip tone blood?



even if your perfectly comfortable just reading the strip on-line and have no intentions of ever buying a book, please take moment and click on which way you think the book should get printed and what cost you'd be willing to pay....for now i'm only going to go one way or the other.

would you rather buy... a 52 page black & white comic for $2.99 a 52 page full color comic for $4.99    Free polls from Pollhost.com

after a week or so i'll make a decision based on this poll.

and we end the guest pages with one done by my friend Matt Munn



i've known Matt for a long while now, in fact he was there at the beginning, when i first became interested in making comics...like 9 to 10 years maybe. he's been making comics on and off for even longer than that. now after many expierences in the field he's starting his own site ZOMBIEGROTTO and has big things planned for his new webcomic Zed Reckoning.

guest page #7

here is a great page done by my friend and fellow cartoonist Bob Lipski .




Bob is the easily the most prolific artist i know, he's been drawing his monthly comic Uptown Girl for over three years now... i had the pleasure of sitting next to Bob at wizard world this last weekend.

today is a wonderful comic by Steven Stwalley


Steve's the founder of the cartoonist conspiracy and the creator of the webcomic soapy the chicken... he's also the guy who urged me to do a webcomic and helped push the boat onto the right course.
