Great to hear from you. I was thinking about your comic just this week. I still want to get issue #1 to start with (great to know there's an issue #2 already). I just visited your store, put The Comic #1on the cart, but on checkout it says it doesn't ship to United Kingdom. Is there any other place you're selling? Or do you have Paypal? I could send you the book cost plus whatever you need to cover postage and send you my address.

For what I've seen Kablam, which is the printing arm of Indie Planet, looks to have the best printing quality at resonable rates. Being in the UK I'm NOT spoiled for choices, but I got a couple of contacts whithin the printing business so when the time comes i'll shop around. But I doubt anyone would be able to offer me the same quality at the same price. After all Kabam is print on demand, and as far as I'm aware that business model does not exist in the UK.

Yeah, I have looked in to KaBlam and it is something I have thought about. I met a creator who went through Keness Printing and she was very happy w/ them and the book quality is very high. I just sort of like the idea of using a smaller offset printer and print a small first run, take them to shows and offer them through my site and maybe my local comic store. If that goes well maybe shop at a smaller indie publisher and see what happens?

This week already? So I guess you went with the black & white option. I believe colours would kill your inks.
So, where are you going to have it on sale? Indie Planet? Comixology? You probably mention this before actually, but I can't remember.

I'm actually not for sure yet? I like this printer called Keness. I sort of want to Just self Publish it all myself. Maybe just make available on my website? I have though amazon would be a good option as well, but I am thinking it might be better for my first trade paper back of collected stories? I have looked into all of the comic printers and sites you have mentioned though.

Thank you for the watch!
How many pages you are working towards? Is it a one of, or will it be an on-going series?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dude thank you for the watch and comments! Yeah, I am planning more issues for sure. I have a story I want to tel and more characters to introduce. I have a lot I want to express w/ in its pages. It is quite personal, but I feel like it it has a nice indie feel w/ pop sensiblities.

I like your style . Your sequentials have something going for them. I believe they should be left in black & white. Will your comics be available in a printed form?
I'm giving you a watch and wait for the full release.
