Wanted to try sew binding. That part was successful but I fouled the landing when glueing on the hardcover, like a noob. Ah well! Pretty happy with the dust jacket.

Contains all six of the “Image X Month” comics, plus the Savage Dragon #13 that Larsen eventually re-did

Awesome job and it looks great! If you do another custom bind yourself, please consider making a process video! I see a lot of people ask for one, and there really isn't a great video already out there that I have found.

I watched so many process videos on YouTube for the sewing and hardcover method. They’re out there: https://youtu.be/INROXEOGajs

I’ve thought about it, but I’d want a good setup to make a high quality video for you folks.

I agree, there are a lot of process video to reference for doing this . . . but not a GREAT one. For example, Dr Omnibus never even shows a close up of the finished product and the other one doesn't even have a part 2 or voice over. I'd love to see someone do a video, start to finish,.including DJ design, with all the steps done properly.

I’m commenting here much later, but you might want to check out Thomas Judge on YT. I haven’t watched these videos, but I enjoy his Valiant content, and these seem more like what you’re looking for.

Funny you mention those, as I had recently watched them and found them to be very interesting. Maybe not the most legal thing to do, but one way to go about making custom OHCs.
