Making Comics

Lynda Barry's Syllabus shows Barry's first steps at a curriculum for comic-making; her work of five-years as a professor at a university comes to fruition here in Making Comics.

She encourages all the necessary tasks: loosening up students; allowing students to set aside judgment about good and bad art; drawing a lot; drawing badly; breaking down a story into panels; using simple forms.

I think this is the book for those who might want to create comics.
