Practical lessons in the art and craft of creating and drawing comics. Presented as a comic! Nicely illustrated from simple doodles to elaborate creations. The history of comics is also interwoven into the lesson. Very enjoyable for even a comic novice.
Beautifully artistically intertwined story. I thought I would just flip through a few pages before bed, but I couldn't stop reading and finished an hour later.
Picked it up almost accidentally in a book shop and was drawn in pretty quickly by the cover. The story didn't let me down and after finishing I felt like reading it again immediately, looking for more where there definitely is more... Recommended read, contains stuff to think about.
Not really my cup-of-tea! I could not get into most of the stories. Many of the drawings are really well done. But if I looked at the pictures I lost the storyline; if I followed the storyline then i didn't really see the pictures. Some of the text was too small to read, at least for my old eyes!
