Brian Wood - Comics Graphic Novels / Downloads

Brian Wood has released the design chapbook for Channel Zero as a PDF on his website. Channel Zero is a pretty incredible work, and if you have been reading Wood's DMZ comic without having checked out Channel Zero you need to fix that right now.

This is where the sensibility developed.

Public Domain is a 145-page collection of Channel Zero 'extras'... test pages, character sketches, short stories, unused artwork, photography... all material I generated while creating the Channel Zero world but that never saw print in the graphic novel. It was created, deliberately, very old school and low fi, using mostly a photocopier and a glue stick, the results being grainy and choppy and, in my mind, an accurate representation of how I used to work when I first started making comics.
