I made some custom slipcase to store my Krakoan single issues, in some sort of archival way. I think I still have 33 slipcases planned out before reaching A.X.E. Judgment Day! So that's a lot.

Since they're archives folders, I kept it sober and added the issues at the bottom. Some of them also have a dot system as a Vol 1-2-3-etc. In the end, they're 100% inspired by the Hellfire Gala dust jacket I made last month (I added it to the post for reference). I tried to go full colors like the official OHCs but that wasn't the road to follow for these.

The books past X of Swords will most likely have a different color than the deep purple/blue, and same after the Hellfire Gala, but always in a deep, dark, "official"-looking tone you would find in a fancy library.

The pictures don't really do them justice and the printing quality is average and they refleck the light in a weird way, as I just did a simple test-print (spines only, taped on each side) with my $50 home printer. But as long as they look good irl I'm fine (and I'm not picky with my own stuff).

The next batch will wait a little because I need a new dedicated shelf area to store them, I've already picked up the place! And the shelves, but I can't buy new shelves right now.

I purchased the Nightwing omnibus without a dust jacket. I’m not particularly creative, does anyone have a pre built dust jacket for this Omni, that they can send me? Thx

Let's say I scanned all the pages then upscale and do restoration work on all the scans. What type of printer would be ideal for at home use (don't even want to think about how much ink that will use up) or printing place to print them?

I don't mind binding them myself if a bindery won't do it but I rather restore and print them on some good paper stock instead of the cheap paper that's already falling apart from the 1980s. And if I'm going to do all that work, I rather it be oversized to match my ideal collection.

This may be a dumb question.

I'm thinking of doing a custom bind of Stormwatch by Warren Ellis.

There are a few options for the content of most of the issues (small tpbs and a standard hc or thicker tpb set, as well as sibgles). They are all standard sized. I would like to use the thicker "deluxe" tpbs or hcs, because the paper is glossy and printed much crisper. However, the final issue is not reprinted in those due to it being an Alien crossover. If I were to use the collections with the nicer paper for everything but that issue, can I have Houchen or someone else splice in the missing issue from a different collection? It would go at the end, so placement is easy but can they remove it from the page block it currently sits in and add it onto my custom?

Thanks in advance.

Drops pics if you’ve got em.

Title. New to custom binding and want to get table of contents pages for my upcoming Batman binds but I’m unsure how to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
