Reviews for How to Make a Comic Book
5 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It is written in a simple and understandable way. It is a book to be read in terms of guiding us where to start, what to write. I liked it.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It gives a high level overview of what you need to do to make comic books, but stops short of providing particularly useful information.
