A structure where panel size and shape became integral to the work seemed a logical next step after a long time using primarily grids, where […]
Why is Comics Workbook Magazine so short and printed on shitty paper? You might actually make some sales if you put a little work into the presentation. Or just make a Kickstarter, stop whining about how you’re losing money.
