Recenzii

Some comics-making texts are aimed at writers who are sure they can't draw, and a few are aimed at artists who are sure they can't craft a narrative from beginning to end. This is the first textbook on creating comics that not only gives writing and art equal weight, but demonstrates that they are inextricable from each other during the creation process. At a moment when comics-making curricula are enjoying a big surge in popularity, a diversity of how-tos (and why-tos) will allow students a necessary diversity of ways into making the better comics they want to see in the world. The brilliant anthology section would be a whole education in itself. The fact that the anthology works are cited and contextualized along different axes throughout the book makes this volume truly indispensable for any scholar of graphic narrative's potential.
