SEQUENTIAL ART [a.k.a. Comic Books]
These books are about bringing together all the necessary elements for producing a comic book. As such, they only touch on component topics such as drawing, figure drawing, composition, inking, coloring, filmmaking and writing. Many stop at figure cartooning. For a more detailed study in each of these disciplines, they should be pursued separately.
