Written and Drawn by Scott McCloud

With Making Comics, a book on how to put together your very own
Comic Book, Scott McCloud has done it again. This book is the
one to get if you are really serious about diving head first
into the world of self publishing your own Comic's. Within' the
pages here you will get a lot of practical knowledge of how and
why certain shots are used and what type of panels to use when
telling your stories. Scott goes into the theory of the in's and
outs about all thing relating to the meaning behind a page
layout. He also gives you a lot of info about Manga as well and
how to go about using elements from other cultures to take your
own artwork to another level.
This really is a fantastic book and should be in everyone's
personal Library. I love it, and the exercises and notes at the
end of each chapter will keep you busy for a long long time. You
can't help but to improve your own work. The one thing this book
is not, is a book about how to draw pretty pictures (i.e.,
Babes, Cars, Animals, etc....). There are a million other books
devoted to just that. This book is about looking under the hood
and understanding how things work. Highly recommend this one.
Rating: 5 Stars out of 5
