Making Image Comics' Street Angel: Deadliest Girl Alive

[@Verge_ill]

Always hear you guys mention that your demographics for younger readers is small, but I’m 25 and have been watching you guys religiously since I discovered this channel. Keep doing what you guys do! Makes my work commute so much more awesome!

Removing the grid when she escapes reminds me of how the panels on each page of Where the Wild Things Are get bigger and then bleed off the page as Max gets to the Wild Things. Nice.

I never leave a video without being inspired. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@b.kepley637]

Man... what a great video! I currently also work a fiftyish hour a week job doing design at a family-run printer here in Dover Delaware... and I work on comics in whatever spare time I have. That hit home hard, brother.

[@edwardbacchetta9092]

Hey man I’m in Newark. Work for a big bank and on the weekends, nights, morning, I’m working on a couple personal projects too. DE unite!

[@ettecnal]

YES! I love that you guys mentioned Johnny The Homicidal Maniac! I love that book. I love the bootleg Taco Bell he ate at called "Taco Smell".

[@MichaelMinneboo]

This is a cool video, thanks for telling the story of Street Angel this way. I've never read an issue, but now I'm intrigued. I also love how you just went ahead and made a mini-comic for Halloween and one to send out for Christmas.

[@ericchavez509]

I am sooo picking this new book up!!!!!!!! Congrats Jim!!!! You done good!!!!

[@serviettedetable]

Just Discovered that the ''Guild'' comic I had for a long time is made by Jim !

[@newlegend2005]

I've read "Street Angel," and I found it entertaining. It'd be cool if more were made.

[@derekdraws]

I drew a Halloween comic to pass out to trick or treaters in 2009/2010, and two kids came back to give me fan art... I, like Ed, was FULLY expecting some angry kids who only wanted candy to come back and egg my house.

[@JohnDCochise]

I freaking LOVE Street Angel!! Super cool to hear the history of the book and all the process decisions. Cartoonist Kayfabe 4 Life!

[@Therealmrmeow]

Lookin' great Jim. Love all of the play with forms and media that you use. It makes your work dynamic and exciting. You are certainly one to emulate!!

[@russworks2882]

Jim's story of his journey with Street Angel makes my heart grin like an idiot. I love the mini-comics format; it seems so pure.

[@dylancampbell1996]

Wow the first mini looks so goood!

[@FacundoComix]

Good to know that Jim went through some of the same thought processes as I did while making my own comic, I think I'm on the right path. Ready to go back to writing and drawing... and pre-ordering that good looking book.

[@amedeomodigliani4389]

Love the comprehensive video on Street Angel I only have the first book and I’m glad that this new hardcover is going to contain all this goodness 👍🏽

[@fredandmikethedogs7992]

As a fellow yinzer, comic collector/hoarder and fan of this channel I will be buying all the street angel comic hardcovers currently on in stock trades- lives the two recent shows on .20 books

[@lawrencesagar341]

The best . Number 1 favourite comic .

[@cookiemadison8529]

Just great work, Jim. Love that hardcover art. Total badass

[@Chance0]

I loved hearing the decision making going into the design choices over the years. Great vid 👍

[@antgto]

23:02 I caught that Badger cover homage there.

[@mrtang18]

Can’t wait to pick up Deadliest Girl Alive. I have the Street Angel / Afrodisiac Ad House Box set that I really really love.

[@656Comics]

The pink is awesome!

[@Able-Fader]

amazing work!

[@lordoftheironbark]

Looks fantastic. I will check it out!

[@bursty2464]

Awesome comic

[@paulpeartsmith]

So good.

[@theclockster]

Really nice work! When ordering the first Street Angel book, how do I know which version I get? They should have different ISBN-number, right? Edit: Found it AdHouse Books. :)

[@zep909]

I was wondering how the design elements translate from the oversized editions to the new collection book. And does any of the 'back matter' stuff make it into the new collection, or is there a whole different set of story-adjacent material there?

[@AdHouseBooks]

Hey Ed, do you have the BORN TO BE WILD anthology by Eclipse? I wondered if you looked at my lettering. I lettered my own story and another story in there, and I was always happy with the results.

[@davidmoses6434]

*Ordered*

[@damienlamshed512]

Nice, very nice. What size is the Deadliest Girl Alive collection? Is it the same as the first Street Angel collection or that massive thing standing to your right? Also, does the collection include those excellent end papers (the gang cards, the scribbled note books etc)? Recently picked up the pink paper/purple inked Streel Angel collection and Afrodisiac and loved them, top stuff Jim!

[@CartoonistKayfabe]

Street Angel: Deadliest Girl Alive is comic book sized - so a little bigger than the first collection, Princess of Poverty.

How do you spell inspiration? How do you spell learning? - C A R T O O N I S T K A Y F A B E

[@jhams2063]

awesome work, jim! i had a question... when you first pitched to SLG, they insisted that you format it according to standard western page size, and when you went to image, instead of doing single issues you did self contained stories as books because they were interested in branching out into the graphic novel market. did that give you the option to experiment with other art dimensions, for example an herge album like ed said, or did they still want you to work in the american standard? keep up the good work!

[@paracasso]

The small street angel hardcover, is that available for sale? I can't find it anywhere

[@CartoonistKayfabe]

The small one is hand made, there is only one copy. It is $100,000. But there is a paperback version available wherever books are sold: www.amazon.com/Street-Angel-Deadliest-Girl-Alive/dp/1534313508/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2WXHEXTQAR286&dchild=1&keywords=street+angel+deadliest+girl+alive&qid=1615156664&sprefix=street+angel+deadli%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-1

[@paracasso]

@@CartoonistKayfabe $100,000 is a couple dollars too rich for my blood 😂. It's a shame because I wanted a version with the different paper types including the Risograph. Just grabbed Supermag though! You guys rock
