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. The presentation and writing style is nice and it flows well.The only real complaints I have about this book, were mentioned by one of the other reviewers, and I have to agree:. "Almost like attending a real life course" according to Parka. [[VIDEOID:moOIRMTNOBZULU]]Drawing Words and Writing Pictures is more of a course that a book on drawing comics. The authors Jessica Abel and Matt Madden, both comic artists and teachers, have designed the book to follow a 15-week semester. It's easy to follow and each lesson builds on the previous.The course is comprehensive and covers everything from paneling, storytelling, transitions, lettering, inking, character development, etc. Basically every form of education you need to create your own comic.Each lesson has plenty of illustrated exa. Five Stars Erika Clark Arrived in a timely manner and was as described in product description.
