Bill Ward: Fantagraphics Studio Edition
An oversized Studio Edition of Bill Ward’s work, designed as a true archival object. Extensive research and high-resolution scanning informed a full-scale presentation of the original art, with close printer collaboration to achieve fidelity and durability. The cover build combined velvet with debossing, silver foil, and an inset printed plate, and the finished volume was housed in a custom printed cardboard box built for protection and weight. Kayla E. received an Eisner Award nomination for Best Book Design.
