Man that looks sweet. I have no designs to do web comics, and I'm STILL tempted to get it. Sadly money is tight.
Must. Resist. Shweet. Book.
Look at the size of this puppy next to the Sheldon books:
Here's a list of chapter headings for the book, and a breakdown of the author who steered each:
Introduction (Scott Kurtz)
Chapter 1: Your Webcomic (Dave Kellett)
Chapter 2: Your Characters (Scott Kurtz)
Chapter 3: Formatting (Kris Straub)
Chapter 4: Image Preparation (Brad Guigar)
Chapter 5: Writing (Scott Kurtz)
Chapter 6: Website Design (Kris Straub)
Chapter 7: Branding & Building (Scott Kurtz)
Chapter 8: Interacting with your Audience (Dave Kellett)
Chapter 9: Monetizing your Webcomic (Dave Kellett)
Chapter 10: Books (Brad Guigar)
Chapter 11: Conventions (Brad Guigar)
Chapter 12: Next Steps (Kris Straub)
Chapter 13: A Final Thought (Dave Kellett)
You'll notice, as soon as you start reading the book, that all four of us are heard from throughout the book — even in chapters we didn't author — by piping in via sidebars, or voice-bubble "chime-ins" to the topic at hand. It makes for a more interesting read, to see where four artists agree and disagree.
Here are some shots of sample pages:
But here is the bad news: I just found out that the book distributor's delivery to the Sheldon store won't be here until Saturday! Three days late, the bums!
Know though, that we're going to work double-time to get all pre-orders shipped out to you ASAP, as soon as we get 'em! Your support means the world to me, and I am personally going to make sure these ship as fast as humanly possible.
