Artboy99 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 This is my fake aged poster for the fake 1971 Comic Art Convention in New York. I decided on using a computer font because it looks just like the word balloons Marvel was using on the covers at the time. I hope it is convincing. It is for my graphic novel, "The Tower of the Comic Book Freaks". I will be finished it in about two months. Hey Ron, May I ask what font that is? I like it and would like to acquire it.

That Ron Dude Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi, Artboy. The only one not on your computer is Great Lake NF. I got it for free off the internet. If you can't find it let me know. Also,the lettering-like-a-comic-book font is Joe Kubert which I purchased for, I think, $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Ron Dude Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 About the Graphic Novel. It is a 200 page story. With chapter breaks and additional single page stories it comes to 216. With an afterword, a preface, acknowledgements and all the other stuff I don't know how long it will be. It is contracted to Caliber. It will come out first as a series of on line comics then as a paper book. But I have to finish it. I have about 65 pages of inking to do then I will colour it chapter by chapter to expedite the internet publication. Here is another page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senormac Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 A kind of "stream of consciousness" comic that I did in the late 80s for a zine - The Gloucester Fish that friends from College put together. Just wanted to say... I liked this again. It makes me smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Try this: http://new.comicraft.com Thanks I tried that link and it worked. I didn't like the price of the font ( $69.00 us ) but I will use that font a lot so it is worth it. Thanks for showing it to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 A kind of "stream of consciousness" comic that I did in the late 80s for a zine - The Gloucester Fish that friends from College put together. Just wanted to say... I liked this again. It makes me smile Thanks Senormac & That Ron Dude. Glad that you like it! it was fun to do! It's a world that I've been thinking of revisiting 27 years later! I'm still friends with a bunch of the people that contributed to and put this Zine - The Gloucester Fish together. One of them is Joe Shields who went on to become Joe Cartoon: http://joecartoon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 My team at work had to do paintings this week to hang up on our walls, so I did this. My first time painting (well, second time, did a watercolor in high school). I looked at Poplars at Saint-Remy and did a version one onebillionth as good. I think it turned out ok though...or at least better than my coworkers glitter handprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
