Phil takes hispersonal experience in the comics industry and combines it with hispassion for teaching. This is a must read for anyone interested in notonly creating, but also understanding sequential art." --Keith Wood , art director, Oni Press, "I love the range of guidance given to kids but also the range of "real" artists who contribute to the book. Their varied styles and "degrees of sophistication" make room for all sorts of dreamers!

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
