After 3 long years… PC Weenies Annual #1!

It’s been almost 3 years since I have collected the PC Weenies in print. (That’s an eternity in the Internet time.)

PC Weenies Annual #1 is a 46+ page comic book that I’m planning to print in time for the Small Press Expo this September. Here are the facts on the book:

• It will feature the complete Maude Weiner storyline with a few bonus goodies thrown into the mix.
• The final page count will be between 45 to 50 pages.
• It will be comic-book sized, similar to what you see on newsstands, but with a higher page count.
• I hope to have a brand new sticker-bundle option to offer with the book as an exclusive for all pre-orders.
• The book should ship in early September.

I will be setting up a pre-order page soon. I’m hoping to secure enough orders to be able to afford a print run of at least 100 books.

The interior layout of the book will be landscape. Unlike the previous PCW / UNcubed Samplers, I have opted to make the interiors landscape so that the art is larger and the text is much easier to read.

I’m still torn between going with a portrait or landscape-based cover. Below are rough comps for both to show you where I’m at with the design so far.

Tentatively, I’m leaning towards the landscape cover. Which ever cover I end up going with, I’ll have the other one included within the book (or as an exclusive collectible print).

I’ll be finalizing both covers tomorrow, so check back in if you’d like to see how they look. And, of course, I hope to have a pre-order page up and running really soon, so you can order the book.

And as for PC Weenies Book 2 (the follow-up to PC Weenies: Rebootus Maximus), I finally have enough material to begin work on assembling all the pages together. I hope to have that book printed and available for sale before the holiday season this year.

More news as it develops…
