Title: Maybe if you've never read a comic before
Product review: I expected to learn something about creating comics, art, or the comics industry by reading this book, in the end I learned nothing. Instead of any insight into writing or communication, the classroom scenes focus on things that you should have learned in high school English (like a basic story arc) or that you can learn by reading one comic (pages are laid out into panels, panels should have backgrounds, comic book scripts are like movie scripts, etc). As for learning about the comics industry you find out that if you go to a comics convention you can have a professional artist critque your work, which I believe I learned in the letters section of Robin when I was 12. Oh, well I guess that you also learn that if you take Bob and Mark's class you might get published regardless of how bad your artwork is.Please note that nearly everyone else who has reviewed this book knows the authors personally and has taken their class.
