That's a very new comic. It's only recently been released on Dofan. Very well done, bravo to you sir (lol).

Yeah does anyone actually know? I heard he died but it was just a comment from someone on another forum. I hope he is well and returns to draw !
he has already been away for quite a long while, the most recent comic was already fully completed before he left

Does he have his own website or anything like that? It's always struck me as a bit odd how all these artists seem to only be featured through their publisher.

I see this thread and it's like seeing a car both stunningly beautiful AND insanely fast
-- all locked up in a garage, without fuel, with no air in the tires, anything to prevent it from ever tasting tarmac underneath it, to make absolutely and permanently sure it will never drive

So much potential........ and it's all wasted
Such a shame

Cars are meant to be out on the road -- not locked away

Same thing with comics, they should not be locked away inside the enemy of all comics, the PDF-Prison

If I had a TARDIS I would travel back and seriously take out the PDF's inventor prior to birth, Terminator 1 1984 - style
Too bad I don't have a TARDIS

What's wrong with PDFs?

What's wrong with PDFs?
They are not meant for comics, thats simple.
PDF is meant for TEXT-ONLY, like actual e-books without a single image

1.
Does PDF save the page number?
No.
You exit a PDF on page 69, and open it again, it's on page 1.
No matter which viewer you use

2.
Does PDF save the window configuration?
No.
You exit on 85% size (because font-size etc.), and open it again, and it's back to Default (for me that's roughly 200%, a nightmare).
No matter which viewer you use

3.
Does PDF save that you exited during fullscreen?
No.
You exit during fullscreen, or any other mode that removes sidebars, titlebar, statusbars, etc. then you open it again and all the bars are back.
No matter which viewer you use


Comics are meant to be viewed with a Comic specialist program,
Comic Book Reader is probably the most known
(since it combines all 3 points I mentioned)


And the worst part of it all is that when you extract most of this collection, you get TextLess images, sometimes not even empty white bubbles are there (they get removed as well during image extraction).
Before I saw this happen "here" I didn't even know, had no idea, that GhostScript or whatever is used can add empty white speechbubblefields on top of images

PDF is meant for text only... are you drunk :ROFLMAO:

1. Go to Edit - Preferences - Documents, and tick the box that says "Restore last view settings when reopening documents". (adobe reader)
2. You can set most pdf viewing software to open all files in full screen at whatever setting you like.
3. Once again you can tell most pdf vieweing software to open all the pdf files at the same setting.

While most comics are in cbr or simniliar format they should also read pdf files just fine. I also have no idea why you would extract the images but obviously once again you can easily do that with the text intact. PDF is basically just a collection of images that you can easily export again back to the same images.

Open the PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Click on the Tools Option & hit the Export PDF Option. Click the Image option & select the desired image format of the extracted images (i.e. JPEG 2000, JPEG, PNG, TIFF) Now check the Export All Images box & hit the Export button. There are even free online tools that will export the pdf back to images for you for free.
