After reading several books on the subject, I honestly feel that this is the best when it comes to get a good feel for the industry and the genre. It is not too wordy, as some on the topic, but it is not too skimpy either. I really feel I learned something from this book.

What does it really take to create a good graphic novel? “Writing and Illustrating the Graphic Novel,” by comic guru Mike Chinn, seems to have the answer. Using his own expertise and various comic books as examples, Chinn describes how to approach different genres, how to conduct research for your idea, how to put the idea in a script, how to use drawings and panels, and how to get your work published. While there are certain rules to follow (like drawing 5-7 panels on each page), Chinn understands that every writer/artist needs a little leeway. Just don’t expect him to hold your hand through the whole thing. At least there’s something for Amazon reviewers who get so wound up over what a graphic novel should be.

This book is unrated, but contains no offensive content.
