Rebel Visions: The Underground Comix Revolution, 1963-1975
by: Patrick Rosenkranz
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
240 Pages - Pub Date: 01-Jan-2003
ISBN: 1560974648
Moving from year to year and town to town, through a revolving cast of
artists and publishers, this story of revolutionary 60s art-making seeks
to capture some of the frenzied scope and communal bonhomie that made
the hippie counterculture click. The big names here are Robert Crumb,
Robert Williams and Art Spiegelman, who emerge from the postwar era of
conformity and repression into a period of broad cultural experimentation
and self-discovery. Once the text moves beyond boilerplate mythmaking
about San Francisco in the free love era, an interesting portrait begins
to emerge-of ambitious, committed artists seeking to push their own boundaries,
and with them the boundaries of society at large. In its detailed account
of an art that celebrated sweating burnouts and libidinous creeps, the
volume gives all the anecdotes and minutiae a reader might want. Lavishly
illustrated with pages and panels from the underground press of the time
(at least one per page), the book serves as a solid reference point for
the developing styles of hippie draftsmanship.

Creating a comic is more than just coming up with a powerful villain
or gruesome alien: it requires a lot of thought and planning about
the storyline, weapons, props, modes of transportation, and setting
(city, outer space, underwater, etc). Pulling all of this together
may sound challenging, but with 3D Comic Design everything from
how to create the story, characters, and text balloons, to page
layout /design, adding special effects, and integrating 3D environments
is clearly explained. There's even information on how to market
your comic for publication! So if you've ever wanted to learn how
to create and design comics using your own computer, this is the
resource for you.
Reinventing Comics
by: Scott McCloud
Publisher: Harperperennial Library
256 Pages - Pub Date: 25-Jul-2000
ISBN: 0060953500
McCloud focuses on how the digital revolution will influence production,
delivery, and the art form of comics itself. He lays out 12 paths
toward a new revolution of comics, including creators' rights, industry
innovation, public perception, gender balance, and diversity of
genre, which are then explored with such innovative intelligence
that, as with his earlier work, the conclusions he comes to are
fascinating for both artists and nonartists alike.
