Writing Pictures, a richly illustrated collection of 15
in-depth lessons that cover everything from crafting your
story to lettering and laying out panels.
Review in Kirkus
Smartly designed and easy to understand,
Abel and Madden's text is an edifying course in creating
comics. Comprised of 15 comprehensive lessons, readers are
taught the basic elements necessary to conceptualize and
produce their own comics. Assuming an audience range from
individuals to a group, this pedagogical survey is written
to serve a wide array of learners. The authors suggest
everything from preferred brands of supplies to types of
stretches to alleviate strain. Extensive backmatter,
including helpful appendices on such topics as homework
critiques, and a considerable bibliography round out the
volume. This erudite study should leave its readers with a
greater understanding and appreciation of the command one
must possess to create graphic media. A valuable resource
for all interested in the field and a natural companion to
Scott McCloud's quintessential texts Understanding Comics
and Reinventing Comics.
