The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Graphic NovelBy Nat Gertler, Steve Lieber Category: Writing |
Men's Style: The Thinking Man's Guide to DressBy Russell Smith Category: Style and Fashion |
A pretty comprehensive book about creating and illustrating graphic novels.
It's almost impossible to find a book about men's style that isn't focused on how to, say, use clothing as part of your Machiavellian scheme to take over the corporate boardroom. This book seems to less focused on that than on just giving tips and ideas on how to dress stylishly and well.

In addition to my other writing projects, which I can barely keep track of as it is, I also have an itch to write a graphic novel. I enjoy graphic novels and comic books, even though my library of such isn’t all that large. I have the entire Sandman series, of course, every trade paperback of Fables which has been published to date, and a few others. I’m not a huge fan of superhero comics. I have exactly one Superman comic, the Dark Knight series from the 80s, and a few others. I do like supernatural stuff, and mythical stuff, so if I ever created a graphic novel, it would be more along those lines.
The idea of creating a graphic novel sounds neat. I think the format restrictions would be an interesting challenge to work with. On the other hand, two difficulties present themselves:
Neither challenge is insurmountable, of course. Artwork-wise, I’d have to find someone who’d be willing to draw and whose art could fit with my own vision. I mean, I can draw, to the point where the people I draw are noticeably people and not just stick figures,
As for what to write… Well, nothing suggests itself immediately, so I’ll just throw a bunch of ideas at my brain and see what sticks, if anything. My zombie elf story might be an interesting little project to translate for a first project. Hm.
We’ll see what happens. It’s not like I’m going to have time to work on something anytime soon.
