Clover Press has launched a Kickstarter campaign to reprint the 1980s Spider-Man comic strips written by Stan Lee in a pocket-sized format. This budget-friendly edition allows new readers and collectors to access these classic stories without spending large sums. Additionally, it includes bonuses such as stickers and puzzles, making it easier to enter a universe of arachnid adventures.
The production process behind the pocket edition 🛠️
The campaign uses a print-on-demand model, which reduces storage costs and editorial risk. The strips have been digitized from the originals, adjusting color and resolution for a smaller format without losing readability. The paper used is lightweight, lowering shipping costs and the final price. Clover Press has opted for a paperback binding with flaps, prioritizing durability without increasing cost. The bonuses, such as the stickers, are produced in limited series to encourage early patronage.
Stickers and puzzles: the foolproof hook for your nostalgia 🧩
Because, of course, buying a classic comic is fine, but if they also give you a sticker of Spider-Man doing a handstand, that changes things. The puzzles promise hours of fun for anyone wanting to piece Peter Parker together in a thousand fragments. And all for a price that won't make your wallet cry. At last, the chance to feel like a collector without having to sell a kidney.
