Title: webcomicbooks
Post by: Superbus on 04 Oct 2005, 09:46

Does anyone know of some webcomics that have hardcover books? I remember someone planning on doing one at some point, but it never happened. I am guessing it has to do with the cost and the likelihood of people buying it, but there have to be some that have done it, no?

Ctrl+Alt+Del had a special limited edition hardcover book that sold out very quickly. That is the only comic besides Questionable Content that I read regularly, so I don't know of any others.

James Kochalka did a small run of his American Elf anthology in hardcover.

I'm, uh, offering hard cover editions of my comic, all five years.  But they're bloody expensive and done by hand, by me.  Also, I wouldn't recommend buying one until I've had some more practice in making them.  It's hard to keep the wrinkles out, believe it or not.

I've seen some hard cover comics down at my local bookstore.  I should check to see which ones are webcomics.  I think a couple of them are.  I'll come back here and report them if so.

Hardcover and not paperback or trade, right? Those are few and far between.    I'm going to look around and see what I see too. I'm curious now. I'll let you know what I find.
