...Lets just assume you were so carzy/financially eccentric/possesed , perhaps , with some game show-reality show prize money that required that you spend it on a business venture , not matter how wacky , and wanted to issue - yourself - a comic book ( Or two . ) . Be a comic book publisher .
How would you go about getting it printed ? What ways - formats - pressing plants are there for a comic book , nowadays , now that standard-format comic books are considerably less a part of " comic book culture " and , maybe more the point here , that , essentially all , " big-time " ones are on what would've once been considered " super-slick paper " , that being the norm now .
I guess I'm asking , especially , if there would be ways of issuing something on a less expensive , less high paper quality , format ?
Back during the Eighties , certainly , thre were umpteen indie comic books issues on less fancy paper ( And , the Big Two-Plus still issued many comic books on the cheaper paper , but , we'll leave that aspect alone for now . ) , and , really , " commercially lesser " comic books on cheaper paper go back at least to the initial undrground comics boom , starting in the late Sixties .
Also , the 24-page format , not 32- , that such titles were frequently on .
Let's say that you were anating to

...Okay , and again I see that initial posts can't have typing errors corrected , but anyway !!!!!!!!!...Let's say , now , that you wanted to put out a B&W comic book , we'll say of at least " acceptable general " , if not " all-ages " , material ( So no question now of , likely anyway , " material that may prove offensive to some press companies " . ) , and you would like to put it out on cheaper , less expensive , paper .
How would you go about getting that done ?????????
I picked up a FBCD comic book this year from Fantagraphics , a sampler/teaser for their Mickey Mouse daily newspaper strip reprints , since it was of a B&W daily it was on cheaper , 80s indie-style , paper .
So obviously that can still be done .
I noticed that it was " Printed In Canada "...which I suppse may be purt' much absolute for CB printing of any stripe mowadays , eh ??????????? Ha ha , don't mind me there jest a joke son .
Really , how would one get a modern-day comic book , on less upscale paper/a smaller budget in particular , printed ???????????
You can edit initial posts. There is a dropdown box labeled "Options" which appears just below the row of red buttons in topics you yourself have started.
Perhaps you could type out your posts first in Notepad, get them just how you want them, and then copy-and-paste onto the board.
