The Bullpen

[VinceB]

I've come to the conclusion that bagging and boarding comics, while increasing the longevity of my precious periodicals, is ultimately not a good thing. Once bagged, I put 'em in a box and never read them, again. It's like they don't even exist. So, I've decided to try binding some runs (first off: the Kelley Jones Batman run), but I have ZERO experience with any of the companies that specialize in this kind of thing.

Has anyone dealt with the Library Binding company mentioned on the CGS forum or other outfits? I've been to the LBC site, but they don't list any prices...

SO, YOU WANT TO BIND YOUR COMICS....

I put the Savage Dragon list up on ComicBinding.com so people would have a starting point at seeing what is out there and make their decisions from that. 

You can honestly just bind the Savage Dragon title by itself and it be complete.  If you are wanting some extra meat to the story, I recommend adding the Savage Dragon mini's Freak Force.  The mini's are a nice addition and Freak Force was written by Larsen is pretty much a companion to Savage Dragon.

I hope this helps you out Jeppe

Thanks, Travazz, that was very helpful, just what I was looking for! 

I recently got a hold of the first 32 issues and the first three mini-series (Savage Dragon, Blood & Guts, and Sex & Violence), as well as a couple of crossovers (Destroyer Duck and WildC.A.T.s #14), but it sounds like I should seek out Freak Force as well

Just sent Legends of the Dark Knight 1 - 26 to be bound with H&R. Crossing my fingers.
