Writing For Comics With Peter David |
There seems to be hundreds of books on how to draw comics but very few are about writing the stories. This is one of the best books on comic writing, especially if you want to write for one of the major comic book publishers. Most books on writing tell you to create one protagonist and follow him or her through the story. However, many times comic books carry a team or family of protagonists. Mr. David does a great job of explaining how you put together an interesting group and make the ensemble work in the story. That alone was worth the price of admission for me.
