Graphic Novelists Day 13

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon at the lovely Sunset Park home of Jessica Abel and Matt Madden. Jessica's book, La Perdida is essential to any comix library, and reading Matt's book, 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style is an incredibly entertaining learning experience. The couple showed me an advance copy of their upcoming textbook, Drawing Words & Writing Pictures, and it's a beautifully done guide to everything involved with making comics.
