A very comprehensive guide for those learning the art of comic books. Full of tips from drawing to world-building, designing pages and all the considerations needed in a comic book or graphic novel. Very useful and instructive.

I found this while searching for another book on making graphic novels. Even though this ended up not being the book I was looking for, this had a wealth of information for making a graphic novel and in great detail as well. And something I thought was cool was all the tools they mentioned were all hand drawn. Talk about an awesome way to show importance! So yeah, this was a great book and I recommend it to anyone that was detailed information on making a graphic novel.

Read this in 2014 as part of our Comic Creators club. Our little town library had a great collection of books on the art of comics, and this as well as Scott McCloud's two books, were great.

Good introduction into the process of creating sequential art, especially comics. It went through everything from setting up the page to inking the drawings to emanata and word bubbles, etc.

The other reviewers pointed out how this is a good instruction book, and it is. My main beef with this, though? The fact that, to add a spot color (for emphasis and captions, and so on) is a great idea, but don't make that color bright and light. THey used a light orange for the color, and it makes it VERY difficult to make out words and concepts. They do a better job in the follow up book with dark purple, but this color choice was FAIL.
