Sunset Vista Fan Zine: A Masterpiece of Graphic Novel Printing ????????

The world of graphic novels is a vibrant and dynamic space, where creativity and imagination run wild. One such gem in this realm is the “Sunset Vista Fan Zine”, a testament to the power of community and the love for a shared passion. This project, a brainchild of the Crash Bandicoot fandom, is a perfect example of how a shared love for a character can bring artists together to create something truly unique.

The Sunset Vista Fan Zine is a collection of artwork from various artists who share a love for the Crash Bandicoot series. This project was organized by Cigar-Blues, an artist known for their Crash Bandicoot artwork. The zine was open to submissions from artists who wanted to contribute their work related to the series, with the final product being a curated collection of 30-40 pieces. The zine was printed in A5 portrait size, with a 3mm bleed, and included artwork of heroes, villains, levels, bosses, and anything from the entire Crash series.

Graphic Novel Printing

At Ex Why Zed, we are proud to have been a part of this project, providing our graphic novel printing services. The zine was printed onto 170gsm uncoated paper, with a 4pp cover onto 300gsm uncoated paper. The cover was finished with a matt lamination to the outer, and the entire book was trimmed, collated, and perfect bound. The result was a high-quality, professional-looking zine that truly showcased the talent and passion of the Crash Bandicoot fan community.

The success of the Sunset Vista Fan Zine is a testament to the power of community and the love for a shared passion. It’s also a testament to the quality and versatility of our printing services.

Ex Why Zed makes self publishing a truly pleasurable experience!
Brilliant communication from start to finish. Mike had endless patience for the many questions we asked. The guides provided were easy to follow and super helpful (the video guides are a must watch too). Our order of hardback illustrated children's books was delivered expertly packaged and on time. As for the finished product itself - stunning - a real joy to finally hold, beautifully made and perfectly printed! We couldn't have asked for more. Well, we did - we instantly placed an order for paperback children's colouring books too, which we are equally as happy with. Look forward to working with Ex Why Zed again in the future.
