Benefits of Print-On-Demand for Your Comic Book

On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Dan Head. And, today we're going to talk about how to self publish your own comic or graphic novel. We talked a little bit about comic distribution methods. And, we said that for beginners the best way to go really at the beginning is through the internet. But, that's hardly the only way. There's also, in the last few years, something that's called print-on-demand that has really become economical for new starting out printers. Now, I said before, I printed this at my local copy place which is right off of Union Square Park. But, if you want something that looks a little more professional, you can use a company called Ka-Blam. And, here's a little free advertising for those guys. They are a bunch of good guys. And, they will actually print your book in color and make it look like a comic. And, again, this is only a mini comic. And, we sold this for about a buck, buck twenty-five, on the convention scene. But, it looks good. It's professionally printed and it's generally cheaper if you're willing to buy in a little bit of bulk than what you're going to see printing at your local shop.
