I loved and devoured this book when I was a kid (in the original edition). Alas, my drawing skills never quite developed and I put more energy into the stories than into the drawings. Still, it was a step on the path to making me an author, and I still think Buscema was one of the strongest draftsmen Marvel ever had. ( )

A great primer on the various techniques involved in making comics. This is a good book for beginners. ( )

A great book for anyone who likes to draw, not just comic-fans. This has been a valued resource over the years, doing more to improve my drawing skills than any art class I've taken. ( )

Its a beautiful things when children fight over books. Highly recommended. Young artist can learn the trade of drawing and the language of the skill from this book. Step by step examples are given to help children learn how to draw. Children can also read about some forms of art techniques.

The first "how to draw" book I ever owned. Decades later, I still refer to it. This is always one of the first books mentioned when discussing how to draw comic book art. A must have for those of us who like to draw superhero art. 'Nuff said! ( )

I've been planning to write this book for years, but it took Big John Buscema to light the fire and get the whole thing started.
