A DREAM OF WAKING CHAPTER ONE REDUX

GOOD MORNING KIDDIES,
Okay, so I fucked up. (#678,256,492 I believe but it's hard to keep track.) I finished the whole first chapter of my very long comic book then I began to plan out the later parts of the story (using teeny tiny sketches often called "thumbnails). During this process I came to realize that a lot of the artwork to come is going to have to stretch out across two pages. In the industry this is known as a "but I prefer the term "centerfold" like in Playboy. Thing is, I'm printing my book in a novel format meaning there will be a spine which will just devour the middle inch of any picture stretching across pages, thus destroying hours of work and ruining the cinematic effect the whole thing is meant to achieve.
The solution; a new format, the book will now be printed at 9" by 7" a landscape format that will preserve all the artwork and provide the effect I'm going for.
The problem; the first issue was designed in a vertical format and does not work in a horizontal presentation.
The solution part II; Redesign the layout of the first chapter to match the new style.
Such is the method of my madness. Anyways, I'm throwing up a gallery with some of the new pages so you can see what I've been up to late at night and early into the morning while the rest of you are sleeping.
If you've already got a copy of the first chapter go ahead and contrast and compare the old to the new, if you haven't got a copy then look at it as a free taste of the printed book. Like that first hit of crack you had oh so many years ago...
