Who else is doing longform comics intended for (a series of?) later collections, like FREAKANGELS?

(And actually getting printed in collections, to head off the chancers looking for a free plug)

We should make a list.

(by which I mean you, because I'm ~~lazy~~ busy)

I am thinking two collections or one big one for my twelve issue series. I am not really doing it the webcomic way, but the magazine way on the web...which is probably dumb, but I like reading chunks and I think this will probably relate to the audience as well. And as soon as I have it done and printed I am sending Warren a copy because I said I would, with a photo of it on a comic stand. Might take me a couple of years to get to that point though, as we are only halfway through the second issue.

And as long as Warren keeps posting these topics I will continue to post my webcomic and just be grateful. Thanks again Warren and I look forward to seeing the other people out there and tweeting the hell out of them to let everyone know that there is a wonderful array of talent on the web.

Free online as I finish bits of it, and later in POD collections is 100% the idea for PFS. Still only 20 pages completed tho, so it'll be a little while before a collection.

My wife just launched her webcomic on Tuesday this week. The first chapter/issue is completely done and there are plans after 5 or 6 issues to collect them all. She updates every Tuesday and Thursday.

It's called Fuzz Society and is very much in the vein of Bone and looney tunes, with a romantic subplot.

Website: www.fuzzsociety.com

First issue synopsis:

Come along for a big-scale adventure with Lyra Ladybug--the cutest bug you'll ever meet--who's full of curiousity, and who's not afraid to stand up for herself even though she's tiny. Watch as she gets carried along through Gossling Park on a gum wrapper, and finds herself lost in a land so familiar yet so far from her own, only to meet up with new friends along the way. Perhaps even one who's more than friends. It's fun, adventure and budding romance in this first issue of Fuzz Society!

I'm doing The Cattle Raid of Cooley, a serialised adaptation of an old story from Iron Age Ireland. And may I say, many thanks Warren for giving me the opportunity to plug it regularly on the Webcomics Week threads. A bit less prolific than Freakangels - one page a week, every Wednesday. I'm 98 pages in, and I'm expecting it to come in at 250-300 pages when it's finished, which will be a nice hefty book, but in the meantime I'm collecting it in 30-odd page issues, three so far, which you can buy on the website. Also on the site is the 72-page prequel, Ness, which is also available to buy as a book, and a selection of my other comics.

Others I follow:

Jamie Smart's epic of childhood, Kochi Wanaba, insane but totally authentic in terms of how horrible children can be to each other, but not in a depressing way

John A. Walsh's Go Home Paddy, about the Irish immigrant experience in 19th century America, which is on hiatus at the moment

Between Worlds, a fantasy story set in an imaginary world that's in a kind of urban, 19th century imperial European idiom rather than the usual medieval one, with gorgeous digitally-painted colour art; EDITED TO ADD COMMENT FROM WARREN: I CAN FIND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLECTIONS FOR THIS ONE.

i think most webcomic artists have fantasies regarding physical books in the back of their minds when they get to work. i know mine is intended for print--that's why i work in black and white--and most of the comics i read do eventually get collected.

i believe zebra girl has plans, even though nothing is in their shop just yet. evan dahm (rice boy and other tales) was selling copies of his work at SPX. The Meek. Lackadaisy Cats. Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name is linked up to 4th Dimension (who prints the meek and lackadaisy) so it's fair to assume that comic will also eventually be collected and sold.

Scary Go Round. The Perry Bible Fellowship--done by a funny guy, btw. he came into our local shop once and just quietly started signing all the copies they had on hand.

you can buy Hark, A Vagrant, but i'm not sure she ever intended it to be that way. whenever i see or hear about kate beaton, i get the impression that comics like, jumped her in the alley or something.

Pirates of Mars is pulp adventure webcomic written by me and illustrated by Veronica Hebard. It's serialized every Monday and Thursday and the first story will be collected into a 96 page OGN. We're finishing each book before a single page of it hits the web, so as soon as the cover is ready (I've seen a preview. Veronica's painting is beautiful) we can release the book. I'm still mulling over if it's better to release it sooner rather than later.

I'm pretty sure both of Sarah Ellerton's self-written webcomics and the one she did with Bobby Crosby were always made with the intention to be collected as graphic novels:
Inverloch (finished)
The Phoenix Requiem
Dreamless (finished)

Also Remy "Eisu" Mokhtar and Bobby Crosby's Marry Me (main story finished), and Evil Diva by Pete Menotti, Honoel A. Ibardolaza and I think a one or two other people.

I'm not sure whether 'longform' here means in clumps of pages, or in regular, approximately page-ratioed blocks, or just not newspaper strip sized, though.

Funny you should mention it...
Hope I don't get nuked for a pitchman for this, but it falls under the rules of the subject, so no harm no foul, right?

Ian McDonald's "Bruno the Bandit" will be collected as a series of magazine sized books titled "The Brutal Blade of Bruno the Bandit" (yes, the Conan reference is intentional...always has been in this strip). Ian's ten year+ catalog of stories (and some of them are VERY long form) will be collected with new material and published under my self-publishing imprint "AIM Comics". We've even hooked a longtime Conan artist for the cover, and some words of praise from Roy Thomas for the strip.

If anyone's interested, I'm running a contest for a pdf advance copy of the first issue if you can guess the identity of our guest artist from the sample provided on the website.

Damn, I finally get around to registering to suggest Rice Boy and Family Man and completely missed that both have already been mentioned. Still they're the best examples that spring to mind of real long-form webcomics that lend themselves to collection.

I'm working a slightly different angle. With The Profane Comedy of Audley Strange. my intention is complete the first part of my story online in which time I can continue develop my artistic and layout skills to a level which I'm completely satisfied with. I don't even know how many pages I've got now but most of it is to establish the characters and the background so in a way it's a long form prologue for the main story. I intend to continue by doing a mix of both online and exclusively in print as well as combinations of the two. I did a very limited run of my first tale before deciding I'd rather have a body of good work under my belt before trying again.

Yes I'm aware it's probably insane.

Simon Fraser's Lily MacKenzie is aiming to be published in a 300 page volume and is currently being reprinted in the Judge Dredd Megazine (which also counts too I suppose - I wonder if that might be another model: serialised online, reprinted in an anthology in chunks and then collected in a trade paperback).

Edginton and D'Israeli's adaptation of War of the Worlds appeared as a webcomic and was then reworked and collected (I think there is something by D'Israeli somewhere on how they had to change the pages for printing), before sparking the sequel Scarlet Traces (The Edge has said there will be a War of the Worlds/Scarlet Traces omnibus at some point).

Well, the plan for Dream Life is that in a nutshell.

I'm working on another collaboration that's probably going to go that way, with the addition of some kind of app version for serialization. Something i think i'll try with Dream Life as well, put out chapters/issues in the app market. Think it'll work, even know you can read it online free, from the playing on a tablet I've done so far, some added bonus content and the easier reading interface for tablets, not to mention smart phones, makes it worth putting out a aggressively priced app serial as a possible way to generate some revenue. Least that's what my crossed fingers are hoping.

Sluggy Freelance is always the first webcomic I think of when people start talking about comics. It started off over 13 years ago, and has been a daily webcomic ever since.

Starts off a little slow, but has large, swooping story-arcs now and references things done in the strip since the beginning. I don't think that it was intended to be collected, but they are now in some rather large tome's with extra stuff in them (sometimes a ton of extra sketches, usually small stories.)

There's been some great guest artists over the years (Phil Foglio did a week or two, Gene Ha has done a pin-up, Ian McDonald from the previously mentioned "Bruno the Bandit", and a bunch of others.)

I'd highly suggest it to people. You can read all 13+ years on their site. It's quite interesting seeing how the art has developed over the years.

We're almost finished with the first volume of Love is in the Blood online with issue #3 (of 4) about to be released in print. Each single of Perfect Agent is a complete "mission."

Whoa. This has been my favorite webmoment in the recent past. I've found alot of things to keep me busy reading (dreamlife, spacegirl,wierd fishes, nathan sorry, pirates of mars and many others). These, others, and of course the "house band" all provide channels of entertainment totally unlike stuff in the movies, tv, literature, etc.

In preparing my own project of print (Book 1 and 2 out of 12) I was surprised to find an important difference between the mediums that I hadn't anticipated. Somehow time is different on the web. It seems that reading webcomics is in the present tense. One can always link out to a wiki, or look something up. In print, everything is more self-contained. I'm finding myself needing to make sure the back story is in place and nothing left "in the air".

Add:

Ursula Vernon's Digger :

The link is to the first page of the comic, as landing on the home page will drop you right at the climax of the story, which is now on its twelfth and apparently final chapter. It's collected in print as two chapters per volume, five volumes so far, by Sofawolf Press (which unfortunately has almost no distribution except online and at conventions - I've seen the books in exactly one comics shop.)

Wendy Pini's Masque of the Red Death, which just finished a couple of months ago:

One print volume thus far (of three planned), published by Go! Comi. Looks like there's a fairly long delay on print, since the webcomic uses Flash effects and isn't formatted as a print page so essentially has to be rebuilt for the physical version. Pini recently announced that she's also planning to turn the Flash version into a motion-comic DVD if possible.

At some point (though probably not the obvious now it gets serious and overdramatic point) Poe started writing Exploitation Now for paper form.

There was a great Leiji Matsumoto manga combining Harlock with elements of Wagner's Ring Cycle, in both Japanese and English editions, that was online before it was printing on paper and put in stores. The online version has been long gone, unfortunately, and I don't believe there was ever an English language print version.

Coming from the self publishing movement of the 90's, Dressed For Success is done very definitely with collection in mind. When the current story, Mississauga Jay and the Lost Shrine of the Osars is finished mid 2011, it will immediately be collected as will the story that follows directly after it. The story is paced for reading as a book, rather than the more episodic way some webcomics are done. The web is our form of syndication, rather than photocopied minis we can just go straight to the collection. We really look forward to having the whole thing in hand.

The German version of my Conny Van Ehlsing, Monster Hunter has been collected into two albums so far. Which means I'm way behind on the English version, but I'm still planning to get that one done. Next year, if i can pull it off.

It's short stories rather than one ongoing story - but they build upon one another, and in this world of "long-form vs. gag-a-day", I've always been more on the long-form side.

As for other comics, those I can think of right now (Gunnerkrigg Court, Scary Go Round, Girl Genius) have all been mentioned already.

If German collections count, I could name some more. Zampano Online's David Boller just released his second book, Tell (the first one was Bakuba), and then there's Nina Ruzicka's wonderful Death and the Maiden which has seen three print collections so far, I think. (I'm linking to the English versions here, despite the lack of prints, for readability reasons.)

I've been involved, one way or another, with producing seven different long-form stories which were serialized on the web first and then print-published: A Drug War Carol; The Probability Broach: The Graphic Novel; The Architect; Roswell, Texas; Odysseus The Rebel; La Muse; and Escape From Terra. Here is a link that will take you to the page where you can either purchase any of these or browse the stories for free on-line. I drew four of these books, and lettered and edited all of the rest of them.

There's an eighth story, TimePeeper, which I edited, and so far we haven't print-published it, but it is available on Kindle.

And a ninth, The Hook, which we're still trying to figure out what to do with.

And a tenth, Pheobus Krumm, which we plan to have out via Kindle and Lulu by the beginning of March. We're experimenting with POD with this one.

And an eleventh, the second volume of ESCAPE FROM TERRA, which I hope to have in print for San Diego Con.

Finally, today I'm launching a 12th feature, Quantum Vibe, a second continuing serial which will be collected in print most likely starting in early 2013.

Dresden Codak and Gunnerkrigg Court have had hardcopy volumes in the past so, particularly in the latter case, I think we will see further volumes. both well worth reading. (and in the case of Dresden Codak, at least, you wouldn't have that much of a time investment to read it all, relatively speaking.)

and, of course, Hans Rickheit's Ectopiary. I assume that Hans will want to collect this into a hardcopy volume. he has a story of about 600 pages planned (of which he has put up less than one tenth) and all of his previous works have appeared in hardcopy. (he has a collection upcoming from Fantagraphics, which published his graphic novel The Squirrel Machine just over a year ago.)

please, if you like Ectopiary promote it and friend it on Facebook. Hans really could use some money so that he can quit his daytime job and work on it fulltime. he, and, Ectopiary deserve it.

ah, yes, and Templar, Arizona which I just remembered. I haven't gotten caught up with this beyond the first of, I think, four hardcopy volumes. good alternative present sociological sf.

Ah! Sorry I'm so late to see this, but PatrickBrown, re Between Worlds

"Between Worlds, a fantasy story set in an imaginary world that's in a kind of urban, 19th century imperial European idiom rather than the usual medieval one, with gorgeous digitally-painted colour art; EDITED TO ADD COMMENT FROM WARREN: I CAN FIND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLECTIONS FOR THIS ONE."

The comic is by Anna Fitzpatrick and does indeed have a rather stunning collected volume in print, though it was limited. You can Find the artist's blog here : http://www.annafitzpatrick.blogspot.com/
Hope that helps!

Looks like Jesse Moynihan's Forming is getting collected by Nobrow and Adhouse.
