💫 What's this about a physical comic book?

You've probably heard it by now, but we're so happy to announce Ghost Issues!

With returning comic artists, writers, page illustrators and merch artists, we'll have stories and illustrations covering arcs, characters and so much more that the readers didn't get to explore into the world of HOTGUY COMICS!

And that's not all, a physical release for Volume One and Ghost Issues?! That's crazy! We hope you're as excited as we are! We'll continue to use our social media to update you guys on Ghost Issues, the physical release, and answer any questions you might have!

Stay informed on our social media!

IT'S DONE. MY BOOKBOUND PHYSICAL HGCZ GOLDEN ERA. if you have read hgcz read it NOW. literally right now you can find it at @hotguycomiczine it will change your life

i've been working on this since january (mostly due to the budgeting issues involving printing), and i believe have just narrowly completed this in a shorter timeframe than the actual zine (sheer embarrassment for taking so long was a great motivation). and YES i found out there was an official physical edition in production about 90% of the way through

i did draw a new cover and design a book jacket for golden era! i've never done something like that before so it was a great challenge

genuinely, hgcz might be one of the greatest pieces of art to ever come out of a fandom. i absolutely loved like. everything about the overarching story and all the details that went into this i could ramble on for hours. i have so sososo much more respect for everyone who worked on this now that i tried creating smth adjacent. this whole project, especially as a fandom related collaborative effort, is just incredible to me

bonus content under the cut!

hgcz cover notes:

there's a lot of stuff i tried to put into the golden era cover

i really liked the original wormtime cover, so the colors are very inspired by that

photograph meant to show the duo at the beginning of Golden Era, for the contrast with isjasz's polaroid by Legacy

hg is angling the camera to catch himself first and foremost, cg being in there is almost an afterthought. he's still a prideful guy!

speaking of which, they're angled away from each other as they're still not fully working together as a team

cuteguy and hotguy designs a mashup of several creators (particularly tibby-art for cuteguy and chrisrin for hotguy)

cg's eyes are visible but hg's visor hides hishg's scars are also slightly visible as reflections, including a harsh reflection across his left eye. hmmm..

my hotguy and cuteguy refs for the cover. you can see which other artists from hgcz i took inspiration from i think

i had. so many issues. with the physical pages. sometimes my spacing would be off and some parts of the comic would get cut off and i'd have to go buy them again (i don't have a color printer). and i couldn't afford to buy all 172 pages at once so i split the trips up biweekly. anyway it was just a whole process. i ended up with so many offprints i had enough to bookbind an extra hgcz scraps book.

also where i did sketches and thumbnailing

some pics of the book in progress

How much do you think the physical release will cost?

Hello there! This is still something we're looking into, so we don't have any concrete ideas on pricing as of yet. However, we do plan to print the entirety of Volume 1 (all 400+ pages) so that will likely bump the price a bit.

Once things are finalized behind the scenes for Ghost Issues, we will post a Physical Release Interest Check to narrow down price ranges and affordable shipping fees. Keep an eye on our blog for any announcements from us!

[hotguycomiczine]

If there is a future zine produced, would there be new artists involved? If that is the case, would there be some sort of application system to join the team?

Hello! Yes, if we decide to pursue a Volume 2, we would be opening it up to new contributors! As far as we know now, any future apps we'd make will look similar if not identical to the application process of Volume 1.

Make sure to keep an eye on our blog, and you'll likely catch any news or apps we might eventually share!
