Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 741 EAN: 9781592910120 ISBN: 1592910122 Label: Avatar Press Manufacturer: Avatar Press Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 48 Publication Date: June 24, 2003 Publisher: Avatar Press Studio: Avatar Press Editorial Review: Product Description: The master of comic book writing shares his thoughts on how to deliver a top-notch script! The main essay was originally written in 1985 and appeared in an obscure British fanzine, right as Moore was reshaping the landscape of modern comics, and has been tragically lost ever since. Now Avatar brings it back in print, collected for the first time as one graphic novel, and heavily illustrated by Jacen Burrows. Moore also provides a brand new essay on how his thoughts on writing have changed in the two decades since he first wrote it. Average Rating:

Rating: - Not what you expect, but better than you'd guessSure, it's a comic-book format book on comics, and an expensive one to boot. But, if you can forget the medium and focus on the message Moore is trying you get across, you'll be surprised to find that it's more than just a guide to writing funny books. It's a guide to the creative process. This is one of the most succinct and eloquent books on the creative process I have ever read, and I've read plenty. If you are new to the creative process, Moore outlines what it takes to tell a good ... Read More |
