Publisher Comments:

A classic drawing textbook from an American comics pioneer, revised and enhanced for a new generation.

Based on Will Eisner's legendary course at New York's School of Visual Arts, this guide has inspired generations of artists, students, teachers, and fans.

With examples from Eisner's own catalog and such masters as H. Foster, R. Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Milton Caniff, Al Capp, and George Herriman, this book distills the art of graphic storytelling into principles that every comic artist, writer, and filmmaker should know. 2-color art and text.

Synopsis:

Will Eisner employs his 60 years of experience in comics to define the disciplines involved in comic art. Eisner discusses the principles of conveying story and narrative through the sophisticated combination of text and imagery. 200 illustrations.
