It’s with great excitement that I can finally make a long-awaited announcement: Paul and I each have a small contribution in a new how-to book by our friends, Adam Withers and Comfort Love!

Adam and Comfort are two of the hardest working folks in the business, and if you haven’t yet checked out their self-published comic The Uniques, you should do so without delay. This book, on the other hand is being published by Random House, but since these guys have spent about a decade in the business, building their own award-nominated stories from scratch, you can rest assured that they know what they’re talking about.

They don’t just use their own experience, though: they called on their extensive network of colleagues to provide advice, for a total of 72 separate sidebars. These short lessons bring a wealth of additional knowledge and instruction, and Paul and I are very proud to be included amongst such names as Terry Moore, Bill Willingham, and Aaron Diaz. Paul’s sidebar is about Logo Design, and mine is called “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail!”

The Complete Guide to Self-Publishing Comicsclocks in at 240 full-color pages and over 500 illustrations. I’ve seen the advanced PDF of it, and it’s beautifully done, inside and out. The book will be on sale for $24.99 in May of 2015, but you can pre-order it several different ways:

Thanks again for including us in such a fantastic how-to guide, Adam and Comfort!
