Written by: Stan Lee
First line: This books is for every boy and girl, every man
and woman, who ever wanted to illustrate his or her very own comic strip.
Why you should read this book: It seems to be an update of
the popular How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way (in case you’re wondering, the
“Marvel way” is with improbably muscled men, impossibly curvy women,
foreshortened forearms, and insane punching action), and, if you want to draw
comics for Marvel, or in a style that makes it look like you draw comics for
Marvel, you probably want to read this book. It’s extremely detailed, taking
the reader through a history of Marvel before dissecting every aspect of
drawing comics, along with some elements of writing, lettering, publishing, and
so on. It also includes Stan Lee’s inimitable but slightly silly voice and
numerous anecdotes about his favorite artists.
Why you shouldn’t read this book: You don’t want to draw
comics the Marvel way.
