Josh Blaylock's now classic How-To prose book about the business of comics publishing, after selling out of its updated 2012 edition, is now being re-released to include Tim Seeley's companion writings on the behind-the-scenes realities of being a comic book artist, originally released in pamphlet form. This is NOT a graphic novel, and not about the creative process. There are a zillion books about those topics. This book is a ONE-OF-A-KIND insight into how comic book publishing works. |
