Comic Book Binding


Have any of you ever had comic books bound? I've recently sent off 12 collections to be bound into hardcovers. It's reasonably priced and seems like a good way to have my collection handy for casual reading.
Here's a cover I did for my binding of Suicide Squad...

I'm curious about this, never having done it. Please share what they look like when you can. Also, where did you send them off to?

They called yesterday and the books are done...should be on my porch by the weekend. I'll put up some pics and info then. They went to a bindery in texas named...Library Binding Company. $15 per book...
Yup.

This is a super-awesome idea. For series that won't get collected, or get the SHOWCASE/ESSENTIAL treatment (read: black & white), this is a great way to put a bunch of issues together. I especially like the covers and bindings. In case you didn't answer this elsewhere on here or in your zine, did you provide the images for the outside of the books for them? I assume the binding is high-quality? I'd be all over this but I'm hesitant because I want to keep my original issues intact. I might come around, though. What was I going to do with those issues besides read them anyway? And this would make them easier to read.
