I admit that I haven't heard of some of the folks interviewed here, but I read every one, and can honestly say that there's something of value in every single interview. Interesting and insightful -- you won't be sorry!


Well-rounded collection   July 11, 2003

Despite the abscence of any writers of color and the inclusion of a single female, this is a well-rounded collection of in-depth interviews with fascinating insights into process, inspiration, motivation, philosophy and, in some cases, barely contained egomania. A must-have for aspiring writers and fanboys alike.


Very good for the starting comic book writer   September 29, 2004

I was hesitant about buying this book because normally books about comic writing just feature the script and no commentary from the author themselves. This has both. I wish the interview section was a little more in depth but it gives enough to show how it's done by some of the best in the business (I learned there is no proper way) and even hear about what inspires them when they write a story. Also contrary to another reviewers commentary there is a female writer featured, Devin Grayson (I suspect he never read the book because it also features pictures).All in all it's a great buy for 12 bucks.

I really enjoyed this book. Full of information. Well worth the purchase.


Excellent example   May 20, 2007
Lots of filler in this book, but, sprinkled through it are some nice tips. Also, the book is filled with excellent example pages of comic scripts. All in all a helpful book.
