I know there a people out there who are contemplating getting some comics custom bound but do not know what to expect, so I decided to make a step by step guide of what I did with my last set of custom binds and hopefully it will assist someone thinking about getting into custom bound comics. This is how I prefer to prep and make them, but this is not the only way. This is not meant to be definitive but a good jumping off point. For this particular set I used Houchen Bindery.
Step 1 – Preparation.
The first thing I do is order the entire series in the order I want them to be in the final custom bind. (With Houchen they have a minimum order quantity, so you really need to order at least 2 volumes per order)
​
https://preview.redd.it/czmu2elncj3b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=38e9dd986210682d4a8a14878c695a2b957e3055
After I have set them in order, I get to work prepping them for binding. While not necessary, as they will do this for you, I like to remove the covers myself. I personally prefer to remove the covers for a few reasons. Number one is there are some pages I don’t want included in my binds (title pages of trades, extra adds/previews of other books at the ends of single issues, etc) so I remove them as well. Number two it gives me a better understanding of exactly how thick each volume will be as no covers reduces thickness. Number three I can split trades up into separate volumes, which I have needed to do multiple times either because without it I will have a super thick volume and a thin one and I want to even it out or I want to order issues differently for an event jumping though multiple books. And finally number four is it is surprisingly easy to do, as I will explain. (I was terrified the first time I did it, as I thought I would wreck my book but I have never had a problem yet)
When removing a cover for a trade paperback I take the cover in one hand and the rest of the book I set on the edge of a counter or tabletop and put my other hand on the rest of the book. Then I pull the cover down and away from the spine. Most of the time the first page (title page) is glued to the cover so it easier to leave that page with the cover if you are not wanting to use it. The cover typically just pops off the spine.
​
https://preview.redd.it/4uhuuy7qcj3b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d8df96645d25d88bd98d6190c3d40d6dfdeb444
Then I flip the book and remove it from the back as well. The back can be more difficult as some books go all the way to the last page. If that is the case, I usually have the book down flat on the table and while holding it down with one hand tear it along the crease to remove it. Like a paper you have folded and refolded many times it typically tears clean along the crease.
​
https://preview.redd.it/9xzi283tcj3b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d2c58c48f94a7d296acb8e7a74b8dc7ebe27c07
If there is excess glue along the page (and with any part of this) I opt to destroy the cover and keep the pages intact, as the cover will be discarded anyway.
For single issues I open the cover and hold the rest of the issue in the middle of the open cover and pull the cover out off the staples. This makes two staple sized holes in the cover but leaves the issue itself completely intact.
​
https://preview.redd.it/a3eg3u4vcj3b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=c58ad5496e97520bb4e5addbbf025e0cfcad55bf
If I want to remove some pages at the end of a single issue I usually just tear them off, like the back cover mentioned above, as they tear cleanly along the seam. (Careful when handling them after this as the front page will now be loose.)
​
https://preview.redd.it/a8kck4gwcj3b1.png?width=731&format=png&auto=webp&s=938ae8b9fd23bdb8a9904aa93bf6e92fd758ab1a
After everything is prepared, I organize them into stacks for each volume I am going to have bound. Sometimes I need to move some issues from one stack to the other if one is too thick and I need to keep storylines together.
After I have stacks for each volume how I want them to be I personally wrap them in saran wrap. I wrap it around a couple times horizontally and a few wraps vertically. I have found this the best/most secure way to keep them together. There is no risk than an issue will fall out away from the rest and they are well protected from the top and bottom from being crumpled in transit. Also, it does not damage the pages in any way as it only clings to itself and not the books themselves.
​

Then I take my order forms (that I have printed from the bindery website and filled out) and wrap them around each respective volume and package it in a box I have with whatever packing materials I have. (In a pinch I have found old grocery bags to be a great padding for the box as they are soft and keep the books secure)
​
https://preview.redd.it/kxepdq00dj3b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=3434d5f50de9f110860b42334eadee5e67e53567

Then I mail the box off to the bindery.
Step 2 – Waiting
The hardest step. After I have sent my order off, I need to wait for them to bind them. I typically opt for the graphic cover of my own design for the covers so while I wait, I get the images I want for the covers ready and generally figure out how I want the layout to look. After they have finished binding the books, they send an email with the exact dimensions of each book.
Turnaround times are not exact but for this particular order it was 8 weeks from when I sent it off and when I heard it was ready and dimensions were given to me.
​

Step 3 – Designing the Covers
After getting the dimensions I could officially design the covers.
​
https://preview.redd.it/ycpqwpt5dj3b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac207735637586eacfd71889a75775ab32ed4f83
Personally, I use the program GIMP (which is a free open-source Photoshop-like program) with measured gridlines to make sure I am working in the correct layout for the dimensions I have been given. Once I have all the covers how I want them I save them as PDFs and upload them on the website they provided in their email.
​
https://preview.redd.it/00l5sb07dj3b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=295513f81bb1293198648ebbadf4d5c7fde1adaf
Then comes the wait again.
Step 4 – Payment
After waiting I was informed that the books were complete and I could now pay for them. For this particular set, from the time I submitted the files to when I was informed the books were complete was 1 ½ weeks. Payment can be made via check or credit card (for an additional fee)
​

Step 5 – Receive the final Custom Bound Comics
One week after I paid, my custom bound comics arrived in the mail. So from start to finish it was about a 3 month process. But now I have some fine comics that I love to display on my shelf.

I hope this guide is helpful in some way. If you have any questions, please let me know and I would love to hear anything anyone does different as I think multiple perspectives is great to hear for anyone thinking about getting some customs made.
Happy binding.

The properties of a textile yarn are not only reliant on the base material of a yarn the yarn count. The properties of a thread are also determined by the production process to turn the base polymer into the final yarn. There are three main types of yarn: monofilament yarn, multifilament yarn, and spun yarn. These are distinguished by the arrangement of the fibres in the yarn.
​
https://preview.redd.it/s2d59pxbdj3b1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b807afc62316f3cdb594066e7dc11aebe42ab8a2
Monofilament fibre is strong enough to be helpful without being twisted with other filaments into a yarn. Therefore, monofilament does not facilitate the weaving braiding of the textile industry's tightest and most efficient woven fabrics. The top Zipper monofilament yarn manufacturer in Uttar Pradesh offers the best quality at the best prices.

Spun Vs Filament Yarns

Yarns fall into two primary groups, spun and filament.
Spun yarns are made from staple-length fibres. Staple fibres are short fibres only a couple of inches long - like cotton. But long filament fibres can also be cut up into staple lengths. To make a spun yarn, all of the fibres need to face the same direction; mechanical twisting then holds the fibres together.

• Filament Yarns

Filament yarns are made from filament fibres. Filament fibres are generally manufactured (except for silk) and have a long fibre length. Because filament fibres are less chaotic than staple fibres, their yarns need deficient amounts of twist to hold them together.

Understanding monofilament yarns

Monofilament yarns consist of a single filament. For example, fishing lines, 3d printing filaments, and strimmer wire are standard monofilaments. These monofilament yarns are produced using the same process as all other filament extrusions, given the same material.
Nylon and polyester filaments are produced using a method called melt spinning. Polymer chips are heated to the material's melting temperature and extruded through a spinneret device, which forces the polymer through a small precision-driven hole that decides the size and shape of the filament.
Once the extruded filament has cooled down somewhat or entirely, it goes through the drawing-out process discussed above, increasing the strength and length of the final yarn. Nylon, for example, is drawn out to four times its non-drawn-out size.
All else being equal, monofilament yarns are the least flexible yarns compared to spun and multifilament yarns. Therefore, clothing made from monofilament fabric is rare. However, it is often woven into fabrics for industrial applications like filtration, where characteristics such as vibration fatigue and work-hardening resistance are valued.

How to Use Monofilament Thread?

When sewing with a monofilament thread, employ a 60-70 weight needle because of the finesse of the thread. Also, you'll want the needle to have a sharp point, like a Microtex needle. The bobbin thread can also be almost anything from lightweight bobbin thread to a 50-wt—cotton thread. You may also even use monofilament thread in the bobbin. If you do, wind the bobbin slowly to keep it from stretching.
Size refers to thickness of the thread. Our monofilament thread sizes vary from almost hair thin and delicate to yarn strong enough for upholstery. As thickness increases, the thread's strength also increases, becomes more visible, and the yards-per-ounce of the thread decrease. The sizes 003 to 011 can be used with most home sewing machines. Size .012 typically requires a commercial device.

Monofilament Thread Buying Guide

Monofilament thread, is precisely what its name says - a thread with a single filament. Monofilament thread is semi-translucent and the first choice for sewing the "invisible" stitches. The Monofilament Thread Buying Guide helps customers to get the right thread to meet their needs. Our approach is to help decide if monofilament thread suits your needs, identify which sizes (thicknesses) should be used for typical monofilament applications, and provide specifications for each size.
Our clear and smoke monofilament threads have a semi-translucent quality that helps them blend in with the fabric you are sewing. This makes monofilament thread a brilliant choice for blind stitching, making exposed stitches or seams as much "invisible" as possible. It is also a great alternative if you cannot find a thread colour that matches your fabric. Monofilament thread feels like a fishing line but is too prone to tangling on reels. The monofilament thread goes up to about 0.012 inches, whereas the fishing line usually starts at 0.013 inches. Use clear monofilament with light colours and smoke monofilament with dark colours for the best results.

I like that some people have been posting about what they’ve watched each month, and I want to see more of it, so I wrote some blurbs on my recent watchlist. Probably wrote too much.
The Eurocrypt(s) of Christopher Lee: Like many classic horror fans, Christopher Lee is one of my favorite actors. However, I wasn’t especially looking forward to these sets, since I thought they would just be offcuts that Severin couldn’t unload as single releases. I’m pleased to say I was wrong. There are a few misfires among them (Challenge the Devil, Mask of Murder, Secret of the Red Orchid), then some mediocre ones (Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace, Castle of the Living Dead), but finally some really enjoyable films. Crypt of the Vampire and The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (the latter in lurid color) are genuinely creepy and eerie, with looming gothic shadows and ruined castles. Dark Places has a kind of standard “man descends into madness” plot but a fantastic cast including Lee, Joan Collins, Herbert Lom, and Robert Hardy. Murder Story really surprised me! It features a couple of teenagers who befriend Lee (as a writer) and uncover a vast conspiracy while doing research for a novel. The dynamic between Lee and the kids is fun, and although the plot doesn’t really come together, the characters are strong enough to carry it. Finally, Dracula and Son, which I was truly dreading - a French comedy about Dracula and his rebellious kid’s wacky hijinks, with that cover (https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yHrbovNIL._RI_.jpg)? But it turned out to be very enjoyable, not quite laugh-out-loud funny, but quirky and charming. Again, the characters make it.
Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection: What’s to say about this one? Adamson’s approach to making films (if you make a stinker, reshoot, recut, and rerelease until you like it) and his entire life (murdered and buried under his floor by a live-in contractor who seemed to be assuming his identity) are fascinating. Even when he makes a kids’ movie it’s bizarre, idiosyncratic, and mesmerizing. Al did it all - sci-fi zombie mashups, go-go crime capers, blaxsploitation, sexsploitation, historical sexploitation, regular exploitation, borderline pornos, sci-fi sex musical epics, rape-and-revenge, stupid comedies, kung fu, teen movies, family movies, fantasies, and more I’m probably forgetting. To anyone who has the cash on hand to get a copy now that it’s OOP, please do and don’t blame me if you hate it. You’ll probably make your money back if you sell. Favorites of mine include Psycho a Go-Go, Angels’ Wild Women, Dracula vs. Frankenstein (which I remember renting from Blockbuster at maybe 8 years of age), The Dynamite Brothers, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Black Samurai, Cinderella 2000, and Nurse Sherri. Also be sure to check out the documentary that comes with it. It’s film school in a box!
Bill Rebane: This filmography was something of a disappointment coming off the Al Adamson set. If you’re going to confine all your characters to a very limited location where nothing happens, you’d better make sure you have an interesting script. And none of these do. Also pretty disappointed in the image quality of the box set. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that The Giant Spider Invasion (the only Rebane film I have not part of the box) was the highest quality and the rest just happened to have no better source materials available, but I don’t know. The Giant Spider Invasion was also the best of his movies that I’ve seen, because it seemed to be the most passionate (and had that badass actual giant spider model). The documentary on the Arrow set was not great either. Made during the height of the pandemic, everyone was on Zoom and Rebane himself was only in it for about 5 seconds. However, it led me to his Twitter (https://twitter.com/billrebane?lang=en) and website (https://billrebane.com/), which are a trip.
Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J. Warren, 1976-1987: The last director-centric box set I watched recently, and one I already had some experience with. Satan’s Slave was featured on one of those 50-movie Mill Creek sets that I picked up when I was younger and watched before I should have. Satan’s Slave is genuinely well-made in my opinion, with a creepy setting, plenty of twists and turns, and enough gore to keep me interested. Prey is also awesome, despite being mostly uneventful. It’s very pleasant for being a film about an alien who comes to each to find a new source of food. Then we get to Terror and Inseminoid, both of which are awful, the latter being one of the most boring Alien ripoffs I’ve ever seen. But Warren brings it home with Bloody New Year, which is completely bonkers and a lot of fun.
Night Gallery Season 1: Maybe I was expecting too much from this. The TV movie that acts as a pilot for the series is excellent, perhaps because each segment seems like it could have been a Twilight Zone episode. Most of the rest of the season is… fine? A couple of better stories and a couple of worse ones scattered throughout. At the very least they all have good casts. However, the first segment of the last episode, “They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar”, made up for the blahness of the rest of it. It’s one of those quintessential Rod Serling scripts about lost innocence and the nostalgia of youth that really crush me, a lot like the TZ episodes A Stop at Willoughby and Walking Distance. I don’t plan to watch it again soon, yet I can’t speak highly enough about it.
Exorcist II and III: Who’s the real Exorcist II; The Heretic? It’s me. I didn’t think the second movie was nearly as bad as its reputation - especially the sequences in Africa, which I found to be pretty eerie and dreamlike. The story doesn’t make much sense, but that’s OK with me. And here comes the real heretical opinion - the third one is better than the first, which I’ve always appreciated but never been a huge fan of. The Exorcist III has a clinical coldness that draws me to it, and I really enjoyed the relationship (though I wish it was longer) between Kinderman and Father Dyer. I’ve heard about the studio fiddling with the ending for the theatrical cut, but honestly it’s a good thing they did, as the original is incredibly anticlimactic.
Deadly Prey: “Who am I? A little man who's spent 27 years of his life as a cop trying to put big shots like you away. 27 years in the filth and the dirt of the streets, and there ain't no music down there. You watch the people on the streets, killing, raping each other, pumping dope through their veins, while big men like you sit in the fancy penthouses. And yet the poor slobs rot in hell. I know about you. As long as it puts money in your pocket. Today the nobodies who made you rich are gonna win. Die, you son of a bitch.”
Foes: This was a real hidden gem. I stumbled across it on the recommendation page for another movie on RateYourMusic, and the poster immediately fascinated me. I looked up the Blu-ray release and discovered it was out of print. Then only a week later I found a copy at The Archive for a great price and watched it right away. I’m glad I did. It’s perfect late-night viewing, hallucinatory and dreamlike. I’m going to guess the script was probably around 5 pages. If you like movies where nothing really happens and lots of ambience washes over you, seek this out, but be sure to watch the 72-minute director’s cut. The longer studio-assembled version is awful.
Death Wishes: The first one is something of a classic, and it’s easy to see why it resonated with audiences as crime exploded in the 70s. It tries to play a ridiculous premise and execution as straight as possible, which hurts, especially in comparison to the Cannon-produced sequels and ripoffs that followed. Vigilantism and capital punishment without trial are heavy subjects, and Bronson, who can’t express convincing emotion, is not a good fit. I didn’t dislike the first one since I love all movies about 70s NYC, but it wasn’t great. The second one is a rehash with an updated setting and terrible score by Jimmy Page. The third is where it gets great, finally embracing the innate ridiculousness of the premise and taking it to new heights, backed by a great cast and a simple but effective script. Don’t remember the fourth one except it’s an inferior retread of the third.
Serpico: Another 70s NYC crime movie! This one is great. Though never to the magnitude of Frank Serpico, I’ve been stuck in seemingly similar situations before, where you just feel like you can’t talk to anyone about anything, and it sucks. The film is full of beautiful shots of the desolation of the city and this poor outsider who just wants to do a little something to improve it. Highly recommended!
Food of the Gods / Frogs / Empire of the Ants / Jaws of Satan: Here we have three classic 70s nature-gone-wild films, plus Jaws of Satan, which is from the 80s so has a slightly different feel. There’s something I really like about these kinds of movies, in all their static, flat, stilted glory. Maybe it’s because they’re kind of a revival of the monster movies of the 50s I enjoy so much. I’m probably not making a good case for them, but they’re comfort food for me, and I know one of you will understand! Others that have the same energy include The Incredible Melting Man, Night of the Lepus, The Devil’s Rain, and Kingdom of the Spiders.

I don’t know if anyone saw these but I bought one a bit ago and haven’t got a email or anything so I might have got scammed. And I didn’t see anything official from yeat about this but they’re fire asf
