A fun, clear, thorough guide to making comics! Maggie and Rex are the guides through the story (Maggie wants to build a comics library with her grandfather's collection, but someone wants to make the space into a parking lot instead), explaining along the way how to make comics, from basic vocabulary (panels, gutters, speech and thought balloons, emanata) to the supplies you can use (pencils, erasers, paper, pen or brushes and ink, ruler or t-square, etc.) to how to construct a script and show more pace a story.

Engaging and informative! Back matter includes a glossary, notes on measurements, tips for scanning, and more sources.

See p. 68-69 for how to make a one-sheet comic (1,2,3,4 and 5,6,back cover, front cover) show less
