Comic book fans of all ages who want to create some memorable works of their own receive basic tips on everything from starting a cartoon studio and choosing characters and plots to honing drawing skills and submitting work to comics companies. A kid-friendly, chatty tone makes it easy for younger artists to become involved.

This is a great book for kids who are interested in cartooning and comics. Any kid who thinks they might want to draw or write comics will love this book- I know I would have! I have taught several comic-book art classes in the upstate NY area, and I would recomend it to any art teacher who wanted to do a comic book project. The design, layout of the book, and illustrations (Some by teen cartoonists and younger!) are very fun and exciting. Well done!

I've checked this book out from the library at least five times. It always helps to inspire me and either remind me of old ideas or give me fresh ones. This book doesn't actually teach you how to draw. For that, I'd suggest "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way." This book teaches you how to develop plot ideas, create your own studio, do drawing exercises, create characters, etc... It has interviews with famous comic artists and kid artists. It has drawing book suggestions and ways to promote your work. It's a really helpful book that I would definately recommend.

This book takes you all the way from inspiration thru getting your meterial out there to be evaluated. Chapters include: starting a studio, tools of the trade, illustration tips and tricks, creating the characters, creating the story line/scripts, putting it all together, copy-shop comics, promotion and getting publicity for your work, submitting your comics to publishers, video game designing, sources and essential comic book terminology. The book is a complete source for anyone interested in pursuing the field, old or young--anyone.

My child is an aspiring comic book artist. This book is perfect for him with detailed illustrations and easy to read text. Shipping was on time (reasonable around the xmas holidays).

This is a fun book to read. In addition to being well written and informative, this book opened up to me the wonderful world of comics/graphic novels (MAGIC KNIGHTS RAYEARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)I think it is a really good book for if you want to start on drawing comics but you just don't know if you have the patience to fit all those little drawings into little boxes. That's kinda how I felt at first but now I love drawing comics.

This book is very helpful. I can now draw comics very well!!!

I recommend the book simply because I'm one of the "young artists" featured (names David Barnes). They even let me do a booksigning...a really great experience!
