Get that story out of your head and onto paper "A guide to creating graphic novels- presented in the form of a graphic novel- from a veteran in the field " In "You Can Do a Graphic Novel," Barbara Slate guides aspiring graphic novelists through the same process she learned in her early days working for Marvel and DC Comics-a process she has simplified for the classes she teaches and for the syndicated column she writes. Written in the form of a graphic novel itself, the book covers all the components and shows readers how to: Find their own drawing style regardless of ability Create memorable characters, compelling plots and subplots, and engaging dialog Traverse the graphic novel business "
It's well put together and really approachable. There's plenty of books about drawing comics, but this book focuses on writing, layout, and the process of putting together a graphic novel. It's different, useful, and well worth a read.
