How To Create Comics & Manga

At the dawn of modern cartooning,Little Nemo in Slumberland set a standard that has never been matched. It is the only comic strip ever honored by a full exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Created by Winsor McCay in 1905, Little Nemo in Slumberland ran, with some interruption,into the mid twenties.McCay combined delicate draftsmanship with a bold graphic sense.His uncanny command of perspective enabled him to render the most dreamlike impossibilities with convincing depth and reality.

Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was one of a small group of great artists who helped establish New York as the dominant centre of world art in the 1950s, where he was one of the leading artists of the American-led Abstract Expressionist movement. Rothko's work was considered controversial in his elimination of line, leaving only colour to convey content. He remarked that he was "no colourist" and that to think so was to misunderstand his art, yet colour was his sole medium. At his death in 1970 Rothko left an immense store of paintings which became the subject of a celebrated lawsuit that brought the artist, his work and associates into the public eye. This book, first published to coincide with a major exhibition of Rothko's work in 1987, contains essays by two major scholars of the period, Professor Robert Rosenblum and Irving Sandler, along with contributions by two members of the Rothko Foundation, Bonnie Clearwater and Dana Cramer. Contributions from Michael Compton, then Keeper of Museum Services at the Tate Gallery, and leading critics David Sylvester and Robert Goldwater are also included. The bibliography and exhibition history have been fully updated for this edition.

I admit to not being a fan of Prince Valiant, an adventure strip featuring the heroics of an 18-year-old knight, when I was a kid reading the Sunday comics. But then I met somebody who had collected the original Hal Foster strips. They were huge compared to the strips I knew and were elaborately detailed. In the Days of King Arthur is a book of 30 postcards featuring enlarged excerpts of Hal Foster's amazing art. The color reproduction is incredible, and it is almost impossible not to be utterly impressed by the detail in the line art. As a bonus for those interested in the history of the strip, original publication dates are included on the back of each card.
