The trend in comics today is toward more extreme figures whose muscles are bigger and more defined than ever. While this creates powerful, exciting comic book characters, it can present a problem for the artist, who needs to become more familiar with stylized, cutting-edge anatomy.

If there’s one thing above everything else that comic book artists must know, it’s how to draw the human figure. Therefore, many comic book artists stock up on anatomy books but are often disappointed with their purchases.

Stan Lee, the Mighty Man from Marvel, and .John Buscema, active and adventuresome artist behind the Silver Surfer, Conan the Barbarian, the Mighty Thor and Spider-Man, have collaborated on this comics compendium: an encyclopedia of information for creating your own superhero comic strips. Using artwork from Marvel comics as primary examples, Buscema graphically illustrates the hitherto mysterious methods of comic art. Stan Lee’s pithy prose gives able assistance and advice to the apprentice artist.

To be able to see and enjoy what you are seeing is much to be grateful for. But even more, being able to reproduce and convey to others, by drawing, what you see or imagine provides greater satisfaction. As in all my books, my purpose and pleasure are to show others, like yourself, a way to construct drawings.
