Making Comics
Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels by Scott McCloud
This book is aimed at the aspiring comic-book writer. I read it as a comic-book reader and a prose writer. So a bit of an interesting review. . . .
Discusses all sorts of elements. Angles, characterization, details, choice of focus, story time. Tools for hand and computer. Collaboration. (Actually that one struck me as short, given its frequency. Writerly proverb: In any collaboration, you have to do 90% of the work. The other collaborator does the other 90%.) Expressions and body language. and more.
