Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

So, You Wanna Be a Comic Book Artist? is a hip how-to book that helps aspiring young comic book artists realize their dreams. Using a lively, informative style, Phil Amara shows kids how to create their own superheroes, write storylines, get their comics published, and possibly become famous. The book features precise techniques for creating a superhero or villain, advice on how and where to submit work and how to navigate the minefield of self-publishing a comic or zine, interviews with current artists, and biographies of the founders of the most popular comics. The book also profiles ten young comic book artists who are publishing their work.

Review:

"The breezy, conversational approach and cartoon-style artwork will draw aspiring comic-book artists to this appealing paperback....One- to three-page illustrated profiles of some of the young artists offer advice and inspiration as well as a practical take on the process of making a career....Amara's expertise, practical tips, and entertaining style make this a rewarding read for any young person with a playful or professional interest in the field." Carolyn Phelan, Booklist

Review:

"A fast-paced and practical introduction to the creative and production aspects of working in the cartoon-art field....[T]he text is direct and accessible....A particular strength of this book is its inclusion of assorted genres and popular styles of comic-book art." School Library Journal

Synopsis:

Explains to readers how to create their own superheroes, write their own storylines, and get their comics published.
