Comic Book Art
For those of you who are currently embracing comic book art, here are some recommendations (in no particular order) based on the class discussions.
I am not going to give you an indepth review these books. I would rather you checked them out for yourselves and make your own mind up. If you live in or near Leeds , there are plenty of comic book stores you can go to to check these books out.
OK Comics
19, Thornton’s Arcade, Briggate, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS1 6LQ
Travelling Man
32 Central Road , LS1 6DE
Most cities and towns have comic book stores these days or at least a Waterstones, and they have a pretty decent comic book section.
Failing that, you have amazon.
Panel Discussions: Design In Sequential Art Storytelling
Twomorrows Publishing
I learned so much from this book. It's not a, "how to", book but rather gives you some great insights from some of the leading and respected pros
The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland
Considered on of Alan Moore's finest and definitely one of the best Batman vs Joker stories
Great story and great art.
Perfect.
The Dark Knight Returns
Frank Miller
Miller's groundbreaking take on Batman that catapulted the caped crusader back to the top of the hero pile
Sin City
Fast paced and brutal, the way Miller does best.
The artwork is stunning
Hellboy by Mike Mignola.
Seed Of Destruction is a good start
Great story , great artwork.
Mignola makes comic book storytelling look easy
That's how good he is.
100 Bullets
Brian Azzarello
Eduardo Risso
Very fast paced storytelling. Great artwork
Daredevil by Mark Waid
Very fast paced storytelling. Great artwork. Great fun.
A really easy read.
A really easy read.
Arzach by Moebius
Just amazing
The Incal
Alexandro Jodorowsky and Moebius
I don't know where to start with this one.
Some of my comic book work
As I mentioned in class. I hate every comic book I have had published. I find it really amateurish and low grade . But then , I would.
I no longer daw like this but the reason I am including these here, is that, Some people actually like them. I have been told by some that Godspeed was the first comic book they read and some have told me that it inspired them to draw comics (only better, I imagine).
Looking back at them, I think some of the page shave moments of adequate storytelling.
Godspeed
