Thanks. If you are thinking of binding them, they were really straightforward. It was just the tpb omni's in reading order. So, volume 1 + Short Stories in book one, then the remainder in book 2.
Then I just tried to make the covers look authentic. But that's just one way to do it.

JoeGuy - really digging those Hellboy books, nice job!
While I’ve gotten out of the binding game myself after moving to Japan, I’ve still done some designs for others the last few years. Is there any interest in seeing them? I still read this thread some and it makes me miss it a bit!
Thanks. When I was making the Superman binds on the previous page, I looked at your old posts and wanted to get close to that quality. Unfortunately I can barely use a photo editor tbh. So I modelled things like Hellboy and Spider-Man as if they were official binds as that's easier to do.
Of course. The Swamp Thing binds look great btw. I always like joined spine art.
The same person who had me make the above Swamp Thing and Aquaman also converted the three Johns JSA omnis into thinner deluxe editions and had me make new dust jackets. Here’s a couple of those and the spines of the full set:
Yes, Mr. Grayson's cover design skills are the best. He's made me many a cover design.
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Thanks guys! Here’s some Wildcats done in a similar style...
