Written by Nick Meglin, the co-editor of "Mad Magazine" for over 40 years, this volume reveals the lives, works and exceptional creative ingenuity of such top 20th-century artists and illustrators as Norman Rockwell, Maurice Sendak, Jules Feiffer and Will Elsner. The ability to translate a comic point of view into a graphic reality makes the vital difference between success or failure. This manual looks at how such artists solved this problem in a variety of unforgettable ways. Each featured artist explains their time-proven tools and techniques for working in a variety of mediums - pen and ink, tempera, watercolour - along with an impression of their own unique creative process.
