I'm planning another compilation for next Christmas. It'll probably have the Bloodrunners strips all cleaned up [aesthetically - not morally] and the first twenty episodes of Jet Metal plus other stuff.
I've drawn Jet big, so a lot of the pictures will be full size pages, instead of the whole thing [episode] fitting on one page, which is very restricting. I'm quite excited about this and am already planning the layout and look of the thing [book]. I want it to be much more professional that the TrashMags of yore.
I'm torn between self-publishing and thus getting all the profits, or finding a publisher with a good distribution network, so that it gets into bookshops etc around the world [surely it has some attraction to non-bikers?]
Are you, or anyone you know, a publisher?

Have you heard of the espresso process at http://www.lightningsource.com/
ReplyDeleteThis allows you to print as few or as many books as you like.
I just had an email chat with Antony Johnson, a comic writing friend of mine who said there's only one sizeable UK publisher left, Titan and they do have an interest in historical comics eg reprints of Modesty Blaize. His independent work is published through Oni Press http://www.onipress.com who he is very happy with. He also has a great article on his website about getting things written, http://www.antonyjohnston.com/articles/gtw.php
ReplyDeleteAnother comic writing friend, Tony Lee has some of his stuff published through a small UK comic company Markosia http://www.markosia.co.uk who do have a worldwide distribution but on a smaller scale than Titan or American publishers like Oni.
Hope this gives helps or gives a starting point.
Thanks Grega
