But a good comic also relies on effective page layout, framing, point of view, story pacing, spacing, lettering and many other techniques that – paradoxically – must remain invisible to the lay reader. When we think of comics it is all too easy to reduce them to pictures and word balloons. Written by an award-winning comics writer, artist and editor, Comic Book Design lays bare the design processes and unique grammar behind this art form.
Using hundreds of examples of artwork from some of the biggest and most-respected names in comics, Gary Spencer Millidge lifts the lid on the techniques and ideas that underpin the greatest comics, providing a fascinating insight for readers, writers and artists alike.
