Reflections on First Printed Comic!

I received the printed copies of A Crying Shame last week, and I am so pleased with how they came out. 



If I was going to redo anything, I would make the cover a little thicker, I have the impression its going to curl quite easily. I also left a page blank at the back (intentionally) and I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen again with future comics; either with artwork of details of myself, something so it looks more intentional. 

I wish I had also added details of where and when they printed, eg "First print run, June 2023" or similar. I will definitely be doing that on A Walk to a Waterfall.

Other than that I am really happy, the cover is bold and bright, the inside pages are really pleasing, and the overall layout flows really well. Working closely with the printer and taking their advice really worked out!
