Ein Buch, das Spaß macht: Fein erklärt, ohne belehrend zu sein. Viele Beispiele als Anregung für eigene Ideen. Übungen für Anfänger und Tipps für Fortgeschrittene. Und Aufkleber mit Spechblasen und Soundwords im Anhang.

I bought the Chinese version. My daughter is 6 years old and she drew her comics after I read several chapters for her.

I bought this book for one of my grandchildren who loves drawing comics. Thought I would have a quick read through before I sent it to him and couldn't put it down!
Great lively drawings and colours throughout
Also over 130 stickers to use in your own comics
Perfect for my grandson and a good read for me also
I learnt a lot and there were things in this book that all writers could learn from
So worth buying
