DESCRIPTION:
Don't miss this one. I've bought just about all the "How To Draw Comics" type books out there, and they are mostly pretty mediocre. They have some good info in them, but leave many more questions unanswered. This is definitely the best of the bunch, especially since it talks about much more than just the drawing part of comic creation. Panel design, inking, lettering, etc. is all in here.

"Five Stars" according to Erika Clark. Arrived in a timely manner and was as described in product description.
