How can I bind my DIY comic book to give it a professional look without specialized equipment?

For a simple, professional look, you can use saddle stitching (stapling through the fold of the pages) if your comic is relatively short (up to 64 pages). For thicker comics, consider hand-sewn methods like Coptic binding, pamphlet stitching, or Japanese binding, which require a needle and strong thread. Alternatively, report covers with slide binders can offer a neat finish for individual issues.
