MAJOR BUMMER

COVERS

FOR SOME REASON I ALWAYS LIKED THIS SERIES, REALLY LIKED THE ART STYLE AND THE GOOFY STORYLINE. AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FINALLY RELEASED AS A TRADE PAPERBACK, I HAD THE COMIS SO DECIDED TO FINALLY BIND IT. 

THE FRONT COVER IS KIND OF A MISH-MASH OF IMAGES AND THE BACK COVER IS JUST AN IMAGE THAT SEEMED PERFECT... DIDN'T ADD ANY EXTRAS THOUGH.. AND ONE OF THE FUN THINGS ABOUT BINDING COMICS IS THAT YOU GET TO INCLUDE THE LETTERS PAGES AND I WROTE A FAN-LETTER THAT GOT PUBLISHED SO IT'S INCLUDED IN THE BIND 

JUST SOME RANDOM INTERIOR SHOTS

COVERS

THIS WAS THE FIRST BIND I DID WHERE I DIDN'T BIND THE COMICS,  I BOUND THE 6-TRADE PAPERBACKS THAT WERE RELEASED (which were about 5-6 issues each). I ALSO REMOVED THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS AND SCANNED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE MUCH HEAVIER THAN THE REST OF THE PAPER IN THE BOOKS.

DIDN'T DO MUCH DESIGN WORK OR EXTRAS ON THIS BIND. BASICALLY JUST TOOK THE COVER AND ADDED SOME TEXT AND THE SAME FOR THE BACK COVER

SINCE THERE WERE ONLY 6-TRADE PAPERBACKS I BROKE DOWN THE CONTENTS TO SUMMARIZE EACH COLLECTION

A VERY COOL FOLD OUT SPREAD

I REALLY LOVED THIS SERIES. IT'S ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES. LOVED THE WRITING AS WELL AS THE ART. THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT COMBINATION

COVERS

THERE WERE SO MANY GREAT COVERS IN THIS SERIES THAT I HAD SUCH A HARD TIME DECIDING WHICH ONES TO USE THAT I FINALLY DECIDED IT WOULD LOOK MUCH COOLER TO GO WITH A PATTERN TAKEN FROM THE FIRST ISSUE. 

MANY OF THE COVERS WERE SO PSYCHEDELIC THAT I FELT IT WOULD BE OVERWHELMING WITH ALL THE COLORS AND DECIDED TO GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND DO SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OF THE OTHER BINDS I'D DONE BEFORE.
