Making Comics by Scott McCloud

I picked it up yesterday at Perfect Books en route home from the barber shop. Holds up rather nicely after a couple of quick and dirty read-throughs as a "state of the present art"/"How to" volume in its own right, as well as being a solid companion to Scott's earlier volumes on comics as an art form and industry.

More on the "Tools of the Trade" chapter in particular to follow in a future posting...and I'd also like to see him add Ottawa to his Tour schedule. I figure the fact that U de Q's Gatineau Campus has a diploma program in comic book creation ought to get him at least moderately curious...no?
