Assembled in Panel Discussions is the combined knowledge of more than a dozen of the industry's top storytellers, covering all aspects of the design of comics, from pacing, story flow, and word balloon placement, to using color to convey emotion, spotting blacks, and how gutters between panels affect the story! Learn from the best, as Will Eisner, Scott Hampton, Mike Wieringo, Walter Simonson, Mike Mignola, Mark Schultz, David Mazzucchelli, Dick Giordano, Brian Stelfreeze, Mike Carlin, Chris Moeller, Mark Chiarello, and others share hard-learned lessons about the design of comics, complete with hundreds of illustrated examples. The struggle to tell a comics story visually requires more than a cool-looking image; it takes years of experience and a thorough understanding of the art form's visual vocabulary. When should you tilt or overlap a panel? How can sound effects enhance the story, and when do they distract from it? What are the best ways to divide

"One of the great books on the Sequential Art subject" according to Norvell Maples. This has been one of the best books I have run across on the subject of Sequential Art. Tells discusses one of the essential ablitlities that a comic artist needs to understand to tell good stories in this format. I really have not run across a better document that helps destribes the in's and out's of how panels and their intelligent use help with story flow and understanding of the storyline to control the speed and emotion of the story tellingTold from the interview style from many of the great Comic Artist of . John Cable said Good critical analysis of how a lot of big names in comics make their comics.. If you want to make comics professionally or just for yourself, just a webcomic, just doodling on paper, this has a lot of good information about composition, laying out panels and pages, how the eye reads from panel to panel and how to make the action coherent to a reader. No heavy jargon or confusing industry speak, just critical analysis of making comics. Lots of good examples of panels and pages.. Very good book with few faults D. Flaws Very good book for the aspiring creator. I learned enough about storytelling to change the whole focus of what goes into each panel and each page.

But over all a really usefull and important work for anyone interested in sequent
