Comic Book Binding

[PLEDGE]

Those 52 binds look great!

Hi, I'm new here and thought I would post some images of various comics I have had bound.
Starting with Shade the Changing Man:

Wow, those look gorgeous. I am sending my first set out for binding soon (Shade The changing man too), just need one more issue.

But I have a feeling my graphic covers are going to look nothing like that.

BTW, did you chose to get the issues trimmed?

OMG. Shade is my favorite series ever and it is such a cool binding. Who did that for you? Looking neat!

Thanks! Yes I had them trimmed, without any noticeable loss to the artwork or speech balloons. I suffered a lot of anxiety about things like that on the first couple of batches that I sent off though

Thanks, I really think Shade has been undervalued by DC over the years, one of my favorite series also.

They were bound by Houchen, though I did the cover designs myself

Gorgeous binds Bantams!

Thank you, I have been looking through your binds and they are amazing, I love the interlocking spines - I'll have to try that on a project sometime

Love the Kane and THP collections. Love all the designs, but the two mentioned made me go all "aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww, maaaaaaaaaaaan!"

[Dick Grayson]

Thought I'd post a few pics of some recent binds. I made a Captain Marvel by Kelly Sue DeConnick omnibus, doing my best to model it after the Marvel releases. Here are pics of the dust jacket:

Some interviews and articles I used as bonus material:

Congrats Dick. You've convinced me to use your services with that. I've been wanting to get a couple things bound, and this mini-omnibus format is exactly what i want. I'll probably contact you soon.

Awesome work once again Grayson. Is the dust jacket the same glossy kind of paper stock that Marvel uses? I wanted to create the classic variant dust jackets for the new Miller DD omni re-prints. Obviously they would need to be smaller due to the re-prints being much thinner. Would you be able to do something like this?

I'd be interested in that as well. Great job on the Captain Marvel bind! Looks just like something Marvel would put out.

Thanks guys! And the dust jackets are laminated so they come out very much like the dust jackets on official releases. And yes, as long as I had scans or could get scans of the art you want it'd be possible to create new dust jackets with whatever you want on them.

Damn I wish I would have thought of this before paying OOP prices for the variants. I soooo would have rather had the cover of 184 for the Miller omni, it's one of my all time favorite covers.
