The Webcomics Handbook

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Specially formatted for your digital tablet or desktop.

Launched as a follow-up to the seminal “How To Make Webcomics,” Brad Guigar’s guide to the art and business of webcomics is largely based on his writings at Webcomics.com — as well as his 15 years’ experience in webcomics.

With chapters covering such topics as using social media for promotion, crowdfunding, running a small business, setting up a Web site, and self-publishing in print, on the Web and for tablets... this book is a ready reference that today's webcartoonist will be turning to constantly.

In 2008, Guigar co-wrote the “How To Make Webcomics” book with his good friends Scott Kurtz, Dave Kellett and Kris Straub. At the time, this book was embraced as the "go-to" book on the subject. For years, the authors have been honored by colleagues and newcomers alike who have told them what a fun and informative read the book was. And then, they all say the same thing: When are you gonna do a follow-up?

Unfortunately, with each of them busy with different projects, it was impossible to get everyone together to do a second edition.

Then it occurred to Guigar that ne had already written the sequel. In 2009, after “How To Make Webcomics” came out, he launched a Web site, Webcomics.com, that has been updated daily ever since with the same kind of information that was in the book.

Using those posts as a starting point, he started assembling chapters and adding new content. By the time the dust settled, he had a 300-page book that covered a wider range of topics and went even deeper on the content from the original book.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
