Look I have no experience in this area so I'm asking, usually when I go to one of those Manga/Anime Convention, I always see an Indie Artist print their own Artbook or Comic and sell them. I've been thinking of printing my own books too but I have no idea where to start or go to, so i'm wondering if anyone know how/where do these Indie Comic artist go and print their books?

I'm not asking where they specifically go to, but if I were an Indie Comic Artist and wanted to print my book,not in a large scale, where would I go/start? Any ideas or recommendation?

What size is the book (A4?)
How many pages per book?
How many books you intend to print?

All this will factor in people's recommendation
my experience is printing colourful booklets/magazines for corporate stuff (which should be similar to printing comics)

Lets say that I wanted to print 100 copies, book size is standard comic size, 80 pages.

"standard comic size" is just slightly smaller than A4 right?

bumbleb716, I want to know too. How much would this cost?

Im more concerned about distribution, Im planning to write my own book and have it edited (profit sharing, anyone? hehehe). But another concern is that if I were to send them to Popular and MPH, will they feature it?

How do I even go about self-publishing?
