What dimensions, pixel count, etc. Do I use for my webcomics?

What dimensions, pixel count, et cetera, are best for print?

It depends on which webcomic project I'm drawing.

For my webcomic diary "Then This Happened...", I found a happy medium for Instagram and print. When I first started out making that one, I made them the size of a tall comic book page. What happened was, that when I started posting that to Instagram, it would get cut off. It was too long.

So I kind of changed the sizes a little bit. I still wanted to keep it in a vertical format so what I ended up using for the diary webcomic is 1000px wide by 1200px tall. And for the DPI, I use 350 for print.

Now, as far as my new comic book "Bobert and the Monster", I am doing that specifically in a comic book print page size and style. So that one is 3588px wide by 5425px tall. And again, I am using 350 DPI for print.

Creating a cover for my webcomic books

Creating my webcomic book cover for print on Amazon KDP I have all the pages set up for the book and ready to go and then at the end it's like "oh right I still need to create the cover for the book!" I don't know why but this part always makes me the most anxious. Maybe it's because it's the way the book is going to be represented? It's so weird, in my books I'm telling very personal things in my webcomics themselves but the cover is the thing that is making me anxious. I mean this is gonna be what I show when I say to people, hey I created this book you should check it out!  Maybe I'm being silly I don't know? ( Related post: Using Google Photos and Google Docs To Make My Webcomic Book ) Using other books as references for the cover What I did to kind of help me with this is I would reference these old comic strip books that I have. I like the styles of these books and I collect them. Collection of old comic strip paperback pocket books I h...
