Web to print comics

How many---and which---comics have gone from web to print? That have a print version of their comic, readily available, for people to purchase?---Al

I've got a tenative publishing deal pending.. so I'm moving that way.

Does that count?

I'd love to, but I'm having trouble making it affordable. T_T Plus, I'd need to go through and rework all the fonts. Oh well, at least it'd give me a chance to correct my spelling.

Eventually I'll work out getting my comic published. Though probably considering the nature of my comic I'll get the PDF comics published before I try Draco <.<

My comic is now officially a print comic!

Faub's printed up issue one of his comic and there are many other webcomics out there with print issues to buy.

Unless I got wrong, ain't Al asking about comics that went FROM print TO web? Kinda like what DJ Coffman did with Yurmumah?

I'm not sure because the title of the thread's called "Web to Print" and is asking which comics have a print version for people to buy. I think he just got things backwards in his post.

This is all too confusing to me. Anyways, so many webcomics have print collections that it'd seem more interesting for me to ask the opposite.

Sorry about that. You're right, I got it reversed. I'm interested in those who went from web-only to a print version of their comic.---Al

ladydarke also has a print version of her comic. However, she doesn't have a link on her site for some reason.

Does that question have anything to do with this?

I will be in print by the end of July.

Putting together my first comic book for a convention in August.

Do the comics ever end up being sold in actual bookstores, though? I've never seen one at a bookstore.

I hope to someday refine my comic into a sort of graphic novel, maybe after I actually learn how to draw. And I will use my immense riches (which I will somehow have accumulated, I have to be that mansion to seed with treasure, y'know) to publish it, even though I'm sure I couldn't make a financial success. It would just be so awesome to be able to hold a book version of your own comic. ^_^

I'm also going to be a failed author, someday. Heck yeah!
Everyone should write an obscure book that goes out of print in a year. That way you'll have crazy stories to tell your kids and stuff.

I think I'll call the book...

After a lot of research on the possibilities, I used Lulu. They're really easy and handle all the print-on-demand, shipping, etc. All I had to do was organize it into a .pdf file.

It worked well for what I wanted from a publisher, which was just to get my comic available in a no-frills decent-looking book for readers to buy if they want it, and then not to have to worry about it anymore.

Azul: You don't need immense riches to get published - just look at Faub's tutorial. 8)

You've never seen a comic book before????

See thats why Ded End is the way it is.... ultimately I'd like to be able to shop it around to newspapers....

Yeppers. One of my interviews fell through, so I was looking for another. (And I think I've already gotten one.) I was interested, though, just personally, since there's no print version of MM yet.---Al
