"Join Dave Gibbons as he guides readers through every development stage of comics creation, from his personal inspirations, such as Frank Miller, Wally Wood, and Chip Kidd, through the intermediate stage of initial sketches, and, finally, to Gibbons' amazing finished artwork. Opening his extensive vaults, containing scans of his original artwork, sketches, and rarely seen illustrations of Gibbons' techniques, readers learn how to create character design from preparatory sketches, use initial designs to understand page and panel layouts, discover handy tips for lettering, and learn the secrets of successful writing with sample scripts"--Front cover flap.
