One of my first books about drawing is How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way (from now and on referred as the "first book"). As I recall, the first book was about the only resource that I could get my hands on that taught you how to make a comic. And coming from the man, Stan Lee, what else did you need?
After more than 30 years Stan Lee does it again. If you got the first book, you must get this one as well. And if you didn't get it, but you would love to make a comic (at least as a hobby) get both.
Now, into this most excellent book.
Stan Lee's How to Draw Comics is the latest book from the man himself. This is not a rehash of How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, although you may find a couple of drawings borrowed from the first book. Instead, this is a how-to-draw book that stands by itself and is bound to become a classic, just like the first book did.
