Get that story out of your head and onto paper!
A guide to creating graphic novels, presented in the form of a graphic novel, from a veteran in the field!
In "You Can Do a Graphic Novel", Barbara Slate guides aspiring graphic novelists through the same process she learned in her early days working for Marvel and DC Comics-a process she has simplified for the classes she teaches and for the syndicated column she writes. Written in the form of a graphic novel itself, the book covers all the components and shows readers how to:
•Find their own drawing style regardless of ability;
•Create memorable characters, compelling plots and subplots, and engaging dialog;
•Traverse the graphic novel business.
