Kelly Meding’s book covers are too damn dark. I’m just sayin’.
I trekked out to the UW Bookstore so I could see their Espresso Book Machine in action. Pictures and video later, if I’m smart enough to put it together.
I can’t wait to read it. I’ve had UNDERSTANDING COMICS around the house for years, but never bothered with the followups until now.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them out.
Man, MAKING COMICS by Scott McCloud is a fantastic book. I also highly recommend The DC Comics Guide to Writing Comics, and also Writing For Comics with Peter David. Excellent, excellent books about storytelling (even if you’re writing something other than comics).
