About this title

Synopsis

Veteran Comic Book Writer Dirk Manning openly discusses how to overcome the odds and create comics – even if you can’t draw them yourself!

For over five years Dirk Manning’s “Write or Wrong” column at Newsarama has provided aspiring writers with candid advice, anecdotes and inspiration about how to successfully meet artists, create comics, and get them published. At long last, Dirk collects key columns from his popular long-running series with each installment personally revisited by Manning in preparation for the book’s release.

“Write or Wrong”: A Writer’s Guide to Creating Comics is an invaluable tool for anyone seeking to create comics, improve their knowledge of the industry and the craft, and/or be simultaneously entertained and informed by this remarkable, forthright and ultimately charming writer as he openly discusses how to overcome the odds and create comics – even if you can’t draw them yourself.
