The Airship graphic novel was printed on a 90yr old printing press and hand bound by author Todd Thyberg

I think Todd Thyberg is cool. He's kind of like Ben Franklin (printer), Jules Verne (sci fi writer), Betsy Ross (seamstress) and a smartphone geek all wrapped up in one person. Todd has written The Airship, a 12 page, 3 color illustrated sci fi graphic novel that has been printed on a 90 year old Vandercook letterpress. Todd then hand cuts and binds the pages into a booklet.
The Airship is a science fiction story and first in a trilogy of planned letterpress graphic novels. In it, I seek to draw a literary analogy between the dichotomy of using modern day digital design tools to create works that are produced on vintage analog equipment.
