Eclectic Comics

Post by Andy »

Image

I am looking into a Print on Demand service for my next self-published comic. Because it's going to have a little of everything from slapstick to biography, I'm calling it Eclectic Comics. You might find any kind of comic strip in it. What ties it together is they were all made by me, except for the pages done by guest cartoonist, Anna Wales.

The cover (above) is mostly finished, thanks to computer artist Daniel Wales. If the image looks familiar, it's my tribute to Action Comics #1 which came out seventy years ago about this time of year. Compare it to the image below. I just couldn't let this milestone of comics history go by without sullying it with the interpolation of a Mighty Andar image.

Just for kicks, once in a great while, I like to get something from Cafepress with one of my characters on it. I had an idea for a Mystic Yak wall clock. Here's the design. I'm sure there's not a huge market for these except for me, but it doesn't cost anything to design the product and set up a store. Hence, The Mighty Marketplace!

The computer coloring is mostly by my son Dan.

Thanks, Marchino. Yes, it's a tribute to Action #1. In honor of the 70th anniversery of that cover.

My first shipment of copies of Eclectic Comics #1 came from the printer today. I'm using a print on demand service called Ka-Blam. They look very sharp and professional, if I say so myself.
