I just fit them on the word document as they are as jpegs, the thing to remember is right click on one of the pages before saving.
Select 'format picture' from the drop down menu.
The format picture window gives you a 'compress' option. When this window opens select the web/screen option and all pictures.
This will dramatically reduce the size of the file and allows more pages, but obviously you there's s loss of resolution, that's why my images are block colours.
Hope that helps...
Craig

They add to the humour and my stories are mainly macabre tales, but more than that, they help the surreal, weird is always weirder when it's parked close to reality. And thank you for the watch

FC is macabre horror, not a gore fest, but has an unexpected twist that everybody who has commented, have been totally blown away by... It's the same with Meadowhell, Spring Heeled Jack and my next Surreal Murder Mystery, The Butcher of Banner Cross, will be equally surreal.

A surreal serial killer is bumping off football players in Sheffield UK.
One of the many 'easter eggs' Rotting Zombie review refers to, is all the Manchester United players are named after famous serial killers.
Bundy, Berkowitz etc, macabre horror...

That's such a cool touch naming players after killers, I love little details like that. I should have guess it was horror all the reviews seem to have horror connections. Is that where you are from Sheffield England?

Yeah, my three macabre whodunnit comics have each sold triple figures locally and are doing ok worldwide on download, sold about 40 in the US, but they are very British...
Every team in FC has a theme, even the team of cops investigating. The surreal clues to go with the CSI type and usual interviews etc...
The narratives also mess with our obsessions, FC (with sport/media), Meadowhell(with shopping), SHJ(with Urban Myths).

I've considered it, but and I know this sounds strange, I write visually, the image and dialogue build together from the initial concept or idea. I've worked with artist previously and found it difficult to express my ideas verbally, so end up drawing it all anyway.
It's strange because without the surreal endings that really make my stories (Twilight Zone, Edgar Allan Poe) they don't really make sense, but I sell them so I can't give the twists away on DA.
That's life I suppose...

Really interesting, I do like to know how other's work!
About the endings: I think it's for the best, people like what you do and wants your comics. If you like it, you want the whole comic - and the reward is the full story, in your own reading pace.

We're talking Rod Serling, Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, The Outer Limits, Hammer House of Horror, that's sort of ending, big surprise, total genre shift as in the film 'Psycho' or 'Dusk till Dawn' for younger film buffs

Sounds good! Always liked T.Zone and Outer L., Hammer even more.
