Stan Lee's "How To" Times Two

Anyone who knows anything about comic books knows that marvel Comics' Stan Lee rewrote the book on how to do comic books.  Almost single-handedly Stan redefined comic books, (especially superhero comic books) and how they were written and drawn.

 

of course he had help from such artistic luminaries as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Buscema, Don Heck, Marie Severin, Gene Colan and other great artists and writers.

So, who better to offer instructions on how to write comic books and draw superhero comic books than Stan Lee?

Watson Guptill and Ten Speed Press present two books dedicated entirely to Stan's unique advice on how to do just that-write and draw superhero comic books.  And, boy, do the books deliver!

In Stan Lee's How To Write Comics Stan offers valuable advice on creating characters, storytelling tips, scripts, publishing, editing and so much more.

And just like Stan (who is known for his over abundance of verbal bantering) the book packs a punch as it delivers plenty of prose and artwork.

Just as impressive is Stan's How To Draw Superheroes that delivers even more art, how tos of drawing good guys and bad guys, sidekicks, monsters, brutes, robots, vehicles and gadgets, page layouts, super teams, vehicles and anything else a well-drawn superhero book needs.

Both books are packed with valuable advice, helpful hints, insider info and so much more, they're (dare I say it?) super! The books make excellent additions to any comic book artist and/or writer hopeful.
