I didn't pick up Stan Lee's How To Draw Comics for the purpose
of learning how to draw, Letter or color. I'm already well
versed in that part of Comic Book creation. You can check out my
Deviant Art Gallery

for some of my color samples
if you're inclined to do so. My main objective to giving this
book a spin was just to update my knowledge and see if there
were / are new things that currently being utilize by amateurs
and professionals alike. After reading it, there isn't a whole
lot that I would say is "new". This book is definitely aimed at
the novice artist looking to break into the biz and touches on
everything that will be asked of you when creating your own
fantasy worlds or working with preexisting characters for
Marvel, DC, Image and any other publisher.
Everything from Penciling, Inking, Coloring and Lettering is
addressed here. There is even a section devoted to how best to
go about submitting and showing your portfolio to land that
prize job that you are after. So, can any seasoned or
professionals benefit from this book? Yes. It's a nice handy
thing to have just for a refresher course should you get in a
rut. Lot's of different examples to be found within the book
from layout and cover designs, color samples as well as inking
and penciling styles.
I can recommend this book as a Rent from the Library. I give
this 4 Stars out of 5.

Book. You might be thinking of Draw Comics The Marvel Way which
also had a DVD release.

That DVD cracked me up because it just felt like the artist
didn't want to be there at all! He just kept bruskly answering
and trying to get everything done as soon as possible, like he
had other work to do and wasn't being paid to be there.
Stan Lee: "Now we're gonna show you how to draw a MIGHTY MARVEL
hero with epic proportions, the kind of fantastical figures who
populate our books! Now it sounds like it'll be difficult but
it's so easy to get started!"
John Romita: (in one breath) "Okay, what you do is you draw a
stick figure then you put tubes around the stick figure then you
add details to the tubes then you erase the stick figure."

That video is too complicated for me to understand.
