Brian, did you get this from a single owner or have you been accumulating pages over the years and just completed the collection?  Either way, wow. One-of-a-kind!

Holy crap!


Loved that book when I was a kid, and still flip through it, on occasion. I think it's essential reading for comic fans--even non-artists--who have any interest in how the books are made.

I also rented this on VHS from time to time when I was a kid, and snagged the DVD version, some years ago:

I thought and still think this is one of the best books for comic fans. I always come back to things I learned from this book. Things I skipped learning when I was young because I didn't want to learn certain things, but now I find I go back to everything taught in this book.

Great score. Congrats.

Where is the link to your comicartfans gallery? Your own site, or on this one?

Thanks for the link Brian. This is amazing to see.

Greg, I have that DVD as well. I've watched it a couple of time but it's
painful.

You made a good pick. That book was instrumental in my self-instruction in the field of comicbook art.

When people ask for a good book to teach their aspiring children how to draw comics, I recommend this one first. Not only does it teach how to draw comics, it teaches how to DRAW, which is immeasurably more important!

I absolutely love that book. I still have the (very tattered now) copy I got when  I was about 10. I was blown away by it because, as JB just pointed out, it was so different from other drawing books I'd seen.

At the time, I only had access to then-current comics, so all the artwork in that book was new to me. Years later, when I started to get the Essentials books, it was a lot of fun suddenly coming across many of the panels that were used as examples in "How to Draw ..." in the stories in which they originally appeared.
