I have used them since then. Have been just as good as always. I didn’t notice any change in quality.

@ awesome tysm for getting back to me! Is there any other binding company you prefer or is it mainly hf group? Ty again :)

They’re the ones I personally like best and go to for my binds. They have a lot of options for how your book is bound and have remained consistently great in quality.

Glad you found this video! It’s a lot of fun and a great way to make your books more durable and easier to pull off the shelf to read.

@@thecomicarchive I have BOXES and BOXES and BOXES and I would much rather have books on a shelf. Man oh man, I am thinking bound over TPB (graphic novel) look on a few series. I am sending this video to friends that did not know this could be done. Thank you

I only did the early stuff centered around liefeld working on it. So: Youngblood 0, 1-5 Team Youngblood 9 Youngblood strike file 1-3 (diehard story as one then chapel story as one) Youngblood 6-7 Team Youngblood 11 Youngblood 8-10

I’ll have to reach out to find out exactly what paper it is but I know a lot of comic artists like Strathmore Bristol paper. Their 400 series is very nice. You can choose a smooth or rough finish to the paper. The smoother surface gives very clean lines whereas the rough surface can be better for styles that like a little grit.

​@@thecomicarchivehey, thank you for the reply

@@thecomicarchive Do you know for what issue he was drawing those pages ?

Unfortunately I don’t.

@@thecomicarchive no worries, ill buy them all

Omaha Bound is still around! Tim is great and easy to work with. You should be able to get in touch with him here on KZbin, instagram, or Facebook. He’s usually listed as omaha bound entertainment.

Thanks! If I understand correctly, the pages used for volume 6 were physically from the epic collection single issues - Tim didn’t print those out for you, correct? How well do they match up with the interior pages from the graffiti design editions as far as ink, color and paper quality?

@@nathanmontoy5593 Those were from the Epic single issues, he didn't print them out. They match up pretty well with the other hardcovers!

Houchen Bindery. I go to them a lot.

It’s a great way to read Invincible. I really love custom binding comics and think it’s a great way to keep my collection easily accessible to read. If you’re just getting started with the hobby I would suggest starting with something that you don’t love. Only because the amount of decisions you need to make can be overwhelming and you won’t know your preferences until you see them in hand. Houchen Bindery is my favorite (they are now called HF Grouo I think). And there are custom binding groups on Facebook where you can connect with the community for advice and help.

Very happy to hear it!

I don’t think they do unfortunately. Comic book binding is a small part of their business. There are groups on Facebook for buying and trading custom bound comics though. Maybe someone has something close there?

So the book binder used a glue binding which let me order and arrange the individual pages as I see fit. If you get in touch with Houchen Bindery they will help walk you through the process. They do all the heavy lifting, I just put everything in the order I wanted it.

@thecomicarchive thank you so much

@@thecomicarchive how would you recommend I get in touch with them?

Their website is hfgroup (dot) com. Scroll down and there is a section for comic books.

@thecomicarchive alright thanks just one more question where did you buy all the comics because some places I've seen are just not available

I haven’t chatted with Paolo in a little while so I’m not sure what he’s up to these days. But I also miss his work. Such an amazing artist.

I don’t have a total tally of what I spent. I used the compendiums to cut down on the cost of the main series which helped. The binding costs about $50-$60 per book depending on what options you choose.

@@thecomicarchive do you have an instagram i can reach out on? i’m really wanting to do this project myself

That would be amazing. I haven’t seen one but maybe reach out to Steve on his instagram to see if he has anything like that?

would be wonderful @@thecomicarchive

It’s honestly not too hard to do. Since the bookbinder does the real work all I had to do on this was use a ruler and xacto knife.

True I probably still mess up NGL 💀
