Coolest book at the Comic Book shop. I highly recommend this book. It's like eavesdropping on the conversations between the interviewer and the 11 famous comic book artists! The artists really open up and show thier human side, which include career struggles, fears, and life goals. They share what it was like as newbies to the comic book business, and how they dealt with obstacles in the work place, and in thier personal life. As an artsit myself, I quickly connected with the artists reply to questions being asked. I hung on their every word!
Not only is this book entertaining, but also educational, especially if your an aspiring comic book artist.
