Webcomics - how about you format for screen?

March 15th, 2008 | by mj |

The format of webcomics is still the same as paper comics. Makes reading them a pain on handheld devices.

PeeJ? Do something about it , willya? You’re bound to know these guys…

    Those guys aims are (I’m guessing) to produce a weekly webcomic to raise revenue so that they can finish an entire graphic novel. Comics have become a loss-leader for producing graphic novels, barely breaking even (in many cases), I suspect Warren is going a webcomic route as an alternative to that. In other words: the format is designed for print because it will be printed :)

    So he’d never think of formatting for a “widescreen” comic size?

    Oh he would (and has done: http://www.artbomb.net/comics/superidol.jsp) but I think he feels (and I’m guessing - no insider knowledge) that you format for one thing or the other and, since the webcomic is only an interem step to the published material he’s formatting for print.
