I donated to the Kickstarter for “How Comics Were Made: A Visual History from the Drawing Board to the Printed Page,” by Glenn Fleishman.
Glenn has put together his research and collections of comics and cartoon artifacts, along with interviews he’s done with cartoonists and other to put this book in print.
There are many examples of what’s to come at the Kickstarter page here: kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/how-comics-were-made along with photos and videos of interviews along the way.
It’s more than just a reprint of comics, although there should be that, but it explains everything about the history of comics and comic strips from 1890 to present and explains how certain techniques were done and includes info on newspaper comics along with webcomics.
The project is almost funded but of course you may still want to order now. Publication is planned for October 2024.
