A quick peek inside! This was the only tricky part about laying out the book. Since the 8-page main story was originally supposed to stand alone, I put this double page spread in the middle, so that it would print without any alignment problems. Once I added the 4-page backup feature, it became necessary to print these two halves on different pages, and therefore I had to take care to align and space them to allow for the gutter. I think it came out pretty good, and this way you also avoid having a big ‘ole staple in the middle of the villains head, which I always recommend.

These were the sketch cards I made to send out with the issues. Careful observers will note that they have little if anything at all to do with the issue, its content or characters, or my comic books in general. That is the result of their creation being off-the-cuff experimentation and daily warmup sketching. Still some neat images in there, just not related. If you got one, I’d consider it a bonus-like a tiny window into the play-doh fun factory* that is my creative process. *Play-doh is copyrighted and not by me. Also, it tastes slightly salty and is non-toxic.
