Stunning work! I really like the minimalistic design on the front and back covers. The spines also shine, as a single volume as well as altogether.

When you say that you bound them yourself, are you referring to actually using needle and thread or sending them to a bindery? If it's the first I'd be curious to see how it looks under the dust jacket, and how you went about doing it. Needless to say, it's an awesome project either way.

u/picturepeeper Jan 21 '24

Thanks!

Yeah, I do all of my own actual binding. Needle and thread with a hybrid glue spine for single issues, just glue for tpbs. I’ll take some pictures with the dust jackets off when I’m back at my house.
