"In my copy, a figure drawing of Sue Reed is covered in a grisly patchwork of crayon scribbles of clashing colors, and an action sketch of Spiderman delivering a punch is captioned "soprmarn" in a semiliterate scrawl."
"The perfect book for a quick refresher of long-distant graphic drawing lessons, with added Marvel magic... as long as you don't mind being patronised by Stan Lee. And, frankly, he's Stan Lee so it's an honour to be talked down to by him."
"For good or ill, this book taught me how to draw figures. Over the years I kept going back to it and trying again, getting farther and gaining confidence. We'll see if it ever culminates in an actual printed comic of my own :) I'm sure it will, even if I'm 80 years old, sitting on the back porch, still holding onto the dream."
"Seriously, one of the best how-to books on drawing (not just drawing comics) ever published. Looking past the overblown prose of co-author Stan Lee, the interested reader finds clear, pragmatic, and useful advice on all aspects of cartooning, from materials and lettering to panel composition and figure drawing. The text is illustrated with examples from many of the Marvel "bullpen" artists, but the best lessons come from co-author John Buscema, one of the underrated masters of graphic narrative. In my teens, when I was ill-advisedly considering a career as a superhero comic artist, I devoured this book; looking back on its dog-eared pages today, it still stands as an exemplar of instruction."
