Comic Book Binding

[bobellis75]

I like the base image just fine, but I'm more traditional as far as back covers and their text. I'll either just use an image of an existing back cover or generate one that looks like a DC/Marvel one with a brief summary and all. So I'm either lazy or traditional with back covers. You're trying something more new and creative.

I just wasn't sure if it was too much...just a bold image - very bright. But fits in with the quote on the back.

I'm sometimes more traditional as well....with a synopsis, etc. I did more traditional stuff on back covers for my Batman set.

Here is another option....

last one...here is the original back cover image, but with the changed up fonts, etc, still incorporated.

Here's an idea.....

What if I bound The Killing Joke and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow in a single volume as some kind of "Alan Moore - World's Finest" type of bind.....

Just a thought.

Could work, but I tend not to do those type of collections, at least for now (I guess my Morrison Supes bind is akin to that, but not really intended in my head to be like that). Eventually, TKJ will be in a Post-Crisis Batman volume. Though I am considering putting Whatever Happened as the first story in my MOS Byrne bind, but only because I figure I may not ever do many Bronze Age Superman binds, or at least not do them anytime soon given my backlog of priority binds and Bronze Age Batman that I plan to bind back to like 1968.

For the Man Who Has Everything (my fave Moore Supes story) is actually in my 1980-86 Batman volumes, so it's kinda a Batman story now lol in bind land. I included select notable Batman appearances (or villain appearances) like that story and certain WFinest and B&B stories and DC Pres and etc.

I’m not sure I’d do that but just popped Into my head

I really do need to do a Loeb (and Kelly) Superman run bind.

Superman: President Luthor (New Edition, Feb 2018) needs to be a springboard towards that.

Received my McFarlane Amazing & Roger Stern Spider-Man Custom DJs the other day.

I don't understand why these weren't chosen, given they're more iconic, but opinions and the like....

I'm so happy with these, I'm debating to get another DJ for my Larsen Spider-Man, Amazing 346 being the cover. IMG_2524[1].jpg IMG_2521[1].jpgIMG_2525[1].jpg

Those look fantastic! Can I ask who made those for you and how much they cost?

[bobellis75]

if this doomsday clock thing doesn't suck...might be interesting to bind the original Watchmen series with Rebirth #1, The Button crossover, and Doomsday Clock series.....

what about "Before Watchmen"?

[bobellis75]

what about "Before Watchmen"?

Maybe. But some of that wasn’t so great. Not sure I’d want to include it since I didn’t love it. That’s why i said “if” doomsday clock is good. If it’s not, I’d definitely pass on the idea.

My covers for my Ennis Demon/Hitman binds & my Delano/Ennis Hellblazer binds (sorry, only these small pics available):

Houchen Bindery printed them - from my buddy's files.

$15/DJ then $10 to ship.

I got both for $40 all in all.

From some pages ago:


My Demon/Hitman map, which takes a more hardline publication order view (frankly I think DC made mistakes in their order, even though their wrong order is harmless) using Mike's Amazing Comics site for publication order info:
Demon volume:
The Demon (1990 3rd Series) #40
The Demon Annual #2
The Demon #41 - 58

Hitman Vol 1:
Batman Chronicles #4
Hitman #1 - 14
Pages from JLA #5
Hitman #15 - 20
Hitman Annual #1
Azrael #35
Hitman #21 - 22
Resurrection Man #9 - 10
Hitman #23 - 28

Hitman Vol 2:
Hitman #29 - 33
Hitman #1,000,000
Hitman #34
Superman 80-Page Giant #1
Hitman #35 - 50
Hitman / Lobo: That Stupid Bastich #1
Hitman #51 - 60
JLA / Hitman #1 - 2

Left out the Section 8 stuff because not the biggest fan & lack of space (wanted only 3 vols max, I push limits on thickness).

So...finally getting ready to do this. Quick question: Wasn't there a Hitman appearance in Sovereign Seven? I recall hearing there was but that it wasn't very good.
