Knights of the Dinner Table #1

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Knights of the Dinner Table is the award-winning comic focusing on the hilarious gaming misadventures of a group of players in Muncie, Indiana. They represent a gamut of people we’ve all known at the table (though personally deny being)! Their adventures are often hauntingly familiar and a humorous reminiscence because, like it or not, we’ve all shared similar experiences.

About this PDF: Issues 1-3 of Knights of the Dinner Table were created at the dawn of the digital age when “paste ups”, “camera ready art”, and stripping film were still mainstream practices in print production. These comics were laid out and lettered digitally but were subsequently laser printed for Jolly to finalize the comic by manually inking in the eyes and facial expressions. This became the “camera ready art” which the printer photographed to create the negatives that were then etched into the plates that reproduced the image in the web press. The final product (if you can find one of these issues today) shows a marked decrease in quality, especially given the fact that it was produced on rough newsprint almost fifteen years ago.

When we compiled these issues in Bundle of Trouble Volume One, we had moved to a completely digital workflow that necessitated reconstructing the layout and reworking all of the images as computer files instead of manual inking. We also updated the typography and other presentation details to be consistent with our current standard.

We did, however, retain the camera-ready art for these issues. It is from these masters, tucked away in archival plastic for a dozen years, that the PDFs were scanned. While not “direct to PDF”, these are the truest versions available and far superior to any printed issue.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
