A really good examination of how other comics artists have used style and technique to achieve what they want in their comics memoirs. Hart also includes examples from his own memoir, and discusses why he made the choices he made.
Great for both artists and readers, and a great resource to learn about some comics memoirs you might not have heard of.

This is an excellent book, not just in terms of a guidebook to writing a graphic novel but also an overview of remarkable and genre-defining graphic novels. I loved Tom Hart's Rosalie Lightning, and just to read more about the process of writing that book--living that life--was so heartening and hopeful.

OKAY this was REALLY cool. I have always been a “creative” and have envisioned doing something like this for ages.
I loved how professionally this was done — and how it gave SO many examples with a side-by-side of a real-life graphic novel.
But back to the professionalism / seriousness... a part of me was expecting this book to be about “ha ha making a graphic novel is only for silly people who have lots of time on their hands!!
