Demon Mages Timeline #4: Small Press Expo
🕑 Added 2021-08-26 23:51:34 +0000 UTCOne thing I was able to live out until 2020 was a love of small press publishing.
Ever since the creation of the DM's, I'd wanted, and tried, and failed, and tried, and failed, to print books. Collections, artbooks, short comics, all kinds of independent press works.
Collaborations had come and gone, and I'd gotten very good at cutting, pasting and stapling together mockups... but it wasn't until the creation of "The Stronger York" in 2014
for New York Comic Con that I managed to hit paydirt.
Some online success with E-Junkie had helped keep the process going (and later turned into a brief stint with Gumroad.)
But, in the summer of 2016, with the advance of online printing houses, and the good will of the folks at Lab Zero (at the time), I managed to pull off a major success. The first "Demon Mages Sourcebook" was created!
Every year since, I had a new 5x8 book in hand:
2423 A.D.
24x2
Troubleshooter
and FairhavenMania
But here, the 20th anniversary of the creation of the DM's comes after a lull, with the worldwide pandemic. No new book since 2019. But... what if it wasn't just a booklet, but a full sized book? An omnibus? A celebration of 20 years of content??...
What if, indeed...

the cover to the stronger york is still one of my favorite bits of art you've done
