How comics were made
Hey all,
I meant to mention this in the weekend’s newsletter but it slipped my mind. My longtime online friend Glenn Fleishman has a Kickstarter you might be interested in, for a book called “How Comics Were Made: A Visual History of Printing Cartoons.”
If you love newspaper comic strips, you will love my new book How Comics Were Made: A Visual History from the Drawing Board to the Printed Page. I’ve combined years of research and the diligent collection of unique comics printing artifacts with dozens of interviews with cartoonists, historians, and production people to tell the story of how a comic starts with an artist’s hand, and makes it way through transformations into print and, more recently, onto a digital screen. I need your help to make it happen!
You can read more about it, and help get it made, here.
The Kickstarter ends on Thursday, which is why I’m sending this out today — one way or another, it will be over before my next regularly-scheduled newsletter. He’s 75% funded and I’m hoping he makes it over the finish line, because I want to read the book!
Dan
