There are as many individual artistic styles and creative processes as there are creators, with each writer, artist, painter, and letterer approach their craft in a wholly unique way. Besides their own styles, every creator has their own work station, where they can best get the creative juices flowing to deliver the comics that you love.
This July, Insight Comics will release the book Masters of Comics: Inside the Studios of the World’s Premier Graphic Storytellers, wherein writer Joel Meadows will take readers behind the scenes with some of the biggest names in comics. The book will showcase the personal studios and working environments of several comic artists, to give an idea about where and how they create. And when I say big names, I mean big: Rafael Albuquerque, Frank Quitely, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Walt Simonson are just a few of the creators involved in the project. Heck, those four alone are worth it, if you ask me.
Check out the details below.
