Holy cow, finally the JC collection!

The Journal Comic complete collection
128 pages, black and white interior, full-color cover

Yeah, after something like a year, I've finally gotten all of the Journal Comic strips together in one big book. Hopefully it should be out in time to debut at the Small Press Expo (October 1st,) but you can preorder a copy right now! "But wait a second," you ask. "Why should I buy this book when I've already read all the strips online and/or bought all of the minicomics?" Why, I'm glad you asked! Let me tell you about some of the...

BONUS FEATURES

30 New Strips - Not only does this book contain every strip that appeared online, there are over 30 "new" strips! These comics were painstakingly reconstructed from unfinished strips and rough sketches, and fill in some of the gaps between the original strips. And they're exclusive to this book! Okay, I'll show you one. But that's it.

Bonus Comics - Two full-page supplemental comics by myself, a comic "rebuttal" by my roommate Antar, and a 2-page bonus comic by my girlfriend Eleanor! These are good comics, not just nepotism, I swear.

Journal Comic Fully-Illustrated Tour Guide - Find your way around the exotic locales of the Journal Comic!

Supplemental Material - A gallery of the Journal Comic-related art, including the covers of the original minicomics.

$13 gets you the book, shipped anywhere in the continental U.S. If you live somewhere in the rest of the world, email me and we'll work it out.

Good Lord, Drew, that cover is so absolutely gorgeous, I'd ask it to the prom.

P.S. - Get a FLUKE submission ready!

"That's a bit steep for a colloction of comics I already own", he thinks as he clicks the button and fills in the PayPal information.

If you come out with a collectors edition next year, I shall scream.

ZOMG!

I will also be tabling at APE this year, and if you do not have a copy of this book for me to buy in person and have you sign for me I will be very, very disappointed.

Oops.

Crap.

I thought you said the Alternative Press Expo, not the SMALL Press Expo.
That's different.
That's in the midwest which is very definitely not where I live.

Damnit. It looks like I am going to have to order one via the interweb after all.

Yeah, APE's pretty unlikely for me, though I'd love to make it out there someday. Me and Eleanor have the vaguest of plans for maybe possibly trying for the next San Diego Comicon, but we'll see how that works out.

We'll pretend that since both Sand Diego and San Francisco are in the same state, that they're not too far away.
