When I was told about a book on how to draw comic superhero's like Spiderman and Thor, I had to buy it. Though being a DC Comics fan Ii thought this book could help me give my drawings more atomsphere and feeling.
If you want to learn how to draw the right way then get this book.
This book teaches you how to draw faces, feet, hands, bodies and everything need to create that perfect picture.
It also teaches you and gives you tips on drawing things in perspective and the use of shadow to show more realistic characters and scenes.
Even at 17 years old I found this book very good to learn from, in my eyes probably the best book on drawing comic book characters and scenes around.

As someone with little or no drawing talent but a real love of comic books, I bought this title to see if i could perhaps learn a little about how it's all done. The book not only does that, it entertains and informs on a lot more as well. It's a real nuts and bolts guide on how to get started as an artist, working right from the basics on how to draw all the way through to completing your own comic book.
Most interesting of all is the Marvel design and composition philosophy laid out by the inimitable Stan Lee, basically an illustrated guide on how to 'direct' the action going on within the pages you create. To say something has 'comic-book action' is usually used in a derogatory sense, but when you see the Marvel scene next to a run of the mill scene you learn to appreciate the time and thought that went into it.
The only downside is the lack of colour, either in the pages or in the training guide itself, and it concentrates almost exclusively on pencil and ink creations. However, as it's aimed squarely at the beginner this is no big loss. Just creating one of the comic pages in the lessons took me hours of tongue-chewing concentration, but the fact that I created it at all, let alone had the urge to sit there doing it for so long has to speak volumes for this book.

Some people warned me when I was thinking about buying this book that it wouldn't help me in developing a drawing skill because it was not a "How to Draw Book", but man were they wrong. Stan Lee' enthusiasm shines like a light house in the dark throughout the book, helping the reader 'get into the mood' and John Buscema' art work is (as per usual) fantastic. Not only does it help develop your skill but begins from scratch and is an amazing book for the begginer (more so than an intermediate artist). In my view the only thing missing is a little splash of colour in the pages that follow the front cover. If you want to learn to draw comics books (not only the hero and villian figures but also objects, perspective, inking, rendering [shading], front cover design and almost everything else you could think of. then this is for you.

Too >4 weeks to arrive
Took far too long to arrive.
Apart from that it's OK, but nothing special and wouldn'y say value for money.
