Peter David’s Writing for Comics with Peter David is a mighty fine resource for comics writers. Published by Impact Books just last year, it’s one of our top-selling Impact books and available at comic book stores, bookstores and online book retailers everywhere.
Very true, Greg! I picked it up after hearing Mr. David give a class on writing (which I enjoyed greatly) at WWLA this year. I included it in the store section of the resource page to make it easier for people to browse and potentialy buy.
Thanks to everyone so far who has sent me resources I didn’t have yet. Keep ’em coming.
