This book, which complements the author's very successful Learn to Draw Cartoons, provides an ideal introduction to the skills required to draw successful comics of your own. All the basics are covered, including how to develop cartoon characters and then create a narrative for them, and the essential techniques and processes are described in a clear and entertaining way, accompanied by step-by-step illustrations. A number of different types of comics are featured, including the popular 'superhero' type, with something to appeal to all age groups.
