Scanned! Now Comes The Clean-Up Then Lettering

Well, all 86 pages of the Year of The Werewolf strip are scanned. Took a couple hours but the problem pages were those at A3 size. 

I purchased by Mustek A3 scanner back in 2004 and I've had to clean and repair it a few times but now it is making a noise like a helicopter!  My sister even came in to ask what the noise was!  So it looks like good old Mustek is going out with the trash.

Sadly, not enough money in sales to buy a new or reconditioned one and even attempting a sponsor deal with Mustek a few years back came to nothing so it is lucky that most of the pages for this issue were on A4 even if that allows for less design freedom.

Now I get to clean the scans and after that...lettering. 

I did get one break. The 100+pp for the book after that?  I did scan them all (A3) and cleaned them up all before the last Covid visit. I completely forgot so that will be straight to lettering. A good few hours of my life won't be wasted on that!

I have to admit I much prefer just drawing and designing pages when I get the energy which is a good thing since there are no artists panting at the bit to do work for the fun and love of it  -it's what I do now since it obviously does not pay.  Which makes me wonder what happened after being called the "new company to keep an eye on" (even though BTCG had been going 30 years by that point)? Or the glowing comments and reviews on blogs -maybe people are literally just looking? Maybe the reviews , etc should have read "The comic company to BUY from!" Just a thought. 😉

Now my eyes need a rest and later I may either start inking some of the Special Globe Guard no. 1 pages or pencil out panels for.... oh, should I even write the title?

Okay, The Chronal War. Title seemed better than "Her We Go With A Lot More Eye Straining"
