Gaiman mentioned that when he began considering graphic novels, this was the go-to book he started with, and it is immediately noticeable as to why it was. The format of the book itself is easy to read - the thing is quite large, though its overall weight is low, so it's still easy to read even with neck and shoulder problems like I have. The information is arranged into sections that build off of one another, so you get a clear understanding to the process of making sequential art, and the updates for online comics were added very thoughtfully, instead of being shoehorned in. I've been taking my time reading the book, so that I absorb as much as I possibly can from it. I've also been looking at various comics that I own, and at online comics I enjoy, and picking them apart with each chapter, so that I have a very practical grasp of everything Eisner is discussing in the book. Despite it being a book, I almost feel like I'm sitting in a class being taught by Eisner, which is what I believe he was trying to do with the book. I'm looking forward to getting the rest of the books in the series (there are two more, linked on the product page) once I finish with this one. I plan on reading it twice, and then having it on hand when I start working on my own graphic novel. It really is a must have for any comic writer/artist! Review: One of the gold standard titles on the creation of sequential art… - Little can be said about this. Will Eisner is considered the father of the graphic novel, and this book, the first of a trio of educational titles he wrote, gives the reader an amazing view into how he approached his writing and art. A wonderful book that should be on every artist, writer and fans shelf. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #119,130 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in How to Create Comics #34 in How to Create Anime & Cartoons #394 in Pop Culture Art | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 429 Reviews | ## Images ![Comics and Sequential Art: Principles and Practices from the Legendary Cartoonist (Will Eisner Instructional Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JSeYOo0YL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Helpful & Inspiring. *by I***R on May 8, 2017* I found this due to Neil Gaiman's short article reflecting on Will Eisner's death.
