Customer review of: Alan Moore's Writing For Comics Volume 1 Customer Rating: Summary: Worth It: Half Way Done. Comment: Worth it. I am a striving comic creator who works and won't have time to read as much as I did this last summer. If you're a striving comic creator this is great book about the medium not because it teaches you how to write, but because it invokes you to create. The things I already knew that Moore talks about helps reinforce good points of story telling while interjecting Moore's insights to writing. Warning: You might have to look up some Moore References. As usual, Moore's has a few obscure references you might not have heard or read about. I know who "Eddie Campbell" is to comics but since the essay is older "Campbell" is treated as an unknown source in Moore's Essay. Still I feel since I'm rereading the "Watchmen" this is a "must have" because it gives a behind the scenes look to Alan Moore's thinking process as he wrote the "Watchmen". A pleasant fear I have is that if the movie is a success this book will be sold out. I've order another copy of this book because I'm destroying mine between the mass transit to my work and home. Key Words: Alan Moore, Eddie Campbell Comics, Watch Men, Watchmen Customer Rating: Summary: There are better books on the subject Comment: I would recommend the Peter David book or the Denny O'Neil DC Comics Guide To Writing before this one. It is priced right however. Not bad, but there are better options out there. Customer Rating: Summary: comic writing Comment: I have only glanced through this book, haven't had a chance to actually read it, but that is what it looks like , there are no drawings as much as it is to be used for hints to write Customer Rating: Summary: ALAN MOORE'S WRITING FOR COMICS VOL1 Comment: It is well written and very informative the only fualt was it was too short. Customer Rating: Summary: Not what you expect, but better than you'd guess Comment: Sure, it's a comic-book format book on comics, and an expensive one to boot. But, if you can forget the medium and focus on the message Moore is trying you get across, you'll be surprised to find that it's more than just a guide to writing funny books. It's a guide to the creative process. This is one of the most succinct and eloquent books on the creative process I have ever read, and I've read plenty. If you are new to the creative process, Moore outlines what it takes to tell a good story in a way that connects to the reader, tights or no. If you are already a creator, the last chapter tells you the questions you'll find yourself facing when you have mastered the form. I really can't recommend this title enough, even if the cost seems a little steep for what you appear to be getting.
Editorial Reviews: The master of comic book writing shares his thoughts on how to deliver a top-notch script! The main essay was originally written in 1985 and appeared in an obscure British fanzine, right as Moore was reshaping the landscape of modern comics, and has been tragically lost ever since. Now Avatar brings it back in print, collected for the first time as one graphic novel, and heavily illustrated by Jacen Burrows. Moore also provides a brand new essay on how his thoughts on writing have changed in the two decades since he first wrote it.
