Work-in-progress cover for WEREWOLF (LOBISOMEM) - a Brazilian comic I am translating. Created by writer Gedeone Malagola and artist Sérgio Lima. This is a 512 hardcover with 24 stories and editorial in it. If you remember Eerie Publications then you'll get the bloodthirsty vibe.

#FauxPulp #Covers #BookDesign Book development often takes the form of play. Nothing final, but just an indication of what the cover MIGHT look like sitting on the spinner rack or shelf. Inspiration can come from anywhere - posters, ads, or just an idea brought into A.I. The idea is the thing...

Saw this and said, "I'll have to check this out." For me, the simplicity of the design is the major win here. As a thumbnail online, it's easy to read and understand - which is half the battle whether it's a book, comic or movie. You want your viewer to get it.

Dear Marvel Ent, If u want to develop & build on your Spiderman: BND success, might I suggest a pivot to other IP in the library that would appeal to the same crowd as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Stargate , etc? Something to broaden the base. #comicbookmovies #fantasy #adventure #dinosaurs

Often people say they can't afford buying additions to their collections at shows. I am here to say bargains and unique items are to be had at shows where retailers come to SELL. Here are some of the affordable items I picked up at the recent #PulpFest in #Pittsburgh

an #Australian Captain Marvel comic book in a widescreen format.

The interior of the Captain Marvel comic showing how they placed two vertical pages on a horizontal page. Something unique I haven't seen before.

Excellent reader copies of #ERB. Only $1.00 each. Bargains are everywhere if you hunt for them.

Some of the early issues of Starlog's COMICS SCENE magazine circa the 80s. That 2nd issue is my 1st exposure to JUDGE DREDD.

The takeaway: In the here and now, "Television" is not just a device in the living room. Understanding that gives you future-proofing and insight into your audience.

In the era of digital (sterile?) comics, is it any wonder many readers are flocking to archival collections of things like this?
