About this product

Product Information

One of the first and still one of the best, Stan Lee's How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way has been the primary resource for any and all who want to master the art of illustrating comic books and graphic novels. Stan Lee, the Mighty Man from Marvel, and John Buscema, active and adventuresome artist behind the Silver Surfer, Conan the Barbarian, the Mighty Thor and Spider-Man, have collaborated on this comics compendium: an encyclopedia of information for creating your own superhero comic strips. Using artwork from Marvel comics as primary examples, Buscema graphically illustrates the hitherto mysterious methods of comic art. Stan Lee's pithy prose gives able assistance and advice to the apprentice artist. Bursting with Buscema's magnificent illustrations and Lee's laudable word-magic, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way belongs in the library of everyone who has ever wanted to illustrate his or her own comic strip.

    The book was competitively priced, ordering was easy, the book was well packaged and arrived safely, and its condition was exactly as specified.The delivery time from ordering to mailbox was a little long (14 days), but overall it was a good experience and I would use this seller again.

    My kid really wanted this, and she likes it. I don’t think the value is great, just more HP commercialism. (She paid me and I ordered, btw.) The price from this seller on eBay is less than anywhere else we found. Reviews citing LONG wait between order and receiving the items are correct: give this seller a full 2 weeks to get items to you. The set arrived carefully packaged and pristine. Overall, my daughter is very pleased with the item. If you can be patient, seller offers good value.

    Item as described, but slow shipping. 18 days for the item to arrive. No padding in packaging, the item arrived a little beat up.

    even if you don't like drawing Marvel Comics still well worth it

    after all these years still one of best and most complete how to draw books you can get, I own a lot of drawing books and this one I will keep handy all the time, it's mostly artwork and brief explanations, covers drawing tools, basic drawing techniques with shapes, drawing in perspective, line of action poses, drawing the body, drawing the head for both male and female, composing scenes and story boarding sort of, inking and contrasting colors, types of shots, what more can you ask?

    Basic model layout with great artist insights.

    Pros give aspiring artists tips on their favorite characters, sums this book up. Not a lot of how to here when it comes to drawing, You do get basic design tips on many of Marvel Comics most popular characters. Along with the tips artist offer comments and insights. Great for fans of the books.

    Awesome.

    Fits wonderfully on the shelf. Has great presentation, along with lots of useful info. Came highly recommended, I would have to agree it is a great read/study. I surely have gotten plenty of use out of this book so far and could see myself referencing it for years to come.

    The Original---Well worth it

    This is the original book on drawing comic art. Two legends in the field--Big John Buscema and pop star Stan "the Man" Lee. It is simple, fun and informative. Yes, there are other more detailed books and publications out there, but this book is what started it all. Great for beginners and as a refresher. I just re-read it as an adult and learned a few things and got a few reminders. Great stuff---nuff said.

    Why I don’t work a real job

    Borrowed this book from a friend in 1987-88ish. Learned more from it than my college experience that I spend a long time paying off. Now I make art for a living. My fellow students now work 9-5 hating their lives. Marvel are why movies are still a thing. You think anyone is going to see a new DeNiro flick in a theatre? Me neither.
