New war comic launching soon!

A treat for all war comics fans! Sector 13 Comics, based in Northern Ireland, are launching a new 96-page anthology, Faces of War. Featuring a gorgeous cover and an interior story by Will Simpson (Hellblazer, Game of Thrones), other strips cover many different types of war story, from the traditional adventure story to tales that deal with the impact of war on those left behind.

We have Mal Earl's artistic interpretation of the poetry of an all-but-forgotten hero of World War One and the return of a once iconic cartoon character from the same period.

We even have the return of the Kings-Reach Commandos, last seen in Splank!, a team of intrepid heroes who bear a remarkable resemblance to the writers and artists who worked on Battle Picture Weekly in its heyday.

The book launches at the Enniskillen Comic Fest on 6-7 June, but is available for preorder at Box of Rain Magazine.

Help with pdf file size

I'm putting together a comic, and I'm trying to make a pdf version I can send to people digitally, as well as a prinit version. The original pages are 300 dpi. When I put them together in Illustrator, the file size is 669.5 MB, and when I export it as a pdf that's 31.4 MB. To bring down the file size I reduced the pages to 150 dpi and created a new Illustrator file, which saves at 9.3 MB, but the pdf is 134 MB! What's going on, and how can I make a smaller pdf?
