By March 2023, more than four years since I had begun, I had lost confidence my book would ever come out from Abrams, and I decided to publish it myself on my blog. Over the next ten months I converted my manuscript to a series of blog articles. At the same time, with no restrictions on length or number of images (rights and permissions were not an issue since I make no income from my blog), I expanded most of the material, added new images and research (with help from Alex Jay), and wrote quite a few completely new articles to fill out areas I had previously skimmed over to save space. In the end, I had 75 blog articles that would make up the bulk of my online book.
excerpts from a CC Beck interview
Posting these interesting shop talk tips and tricks excerpts. I took screenshots of and posted below are either hobbyhorses of mine, or set off a light bulbs enough that I was moved to screenshot and post.
There’s great high-res comics covers and stories at the link, it’s worth clicking.
The thing about how the interviewer fumbled getting the big book out before Beck died is rough to think about.
