About the Author:
David Okum has been a freelance illustrator since 1984 and runs workshops for creating comic books. He lives in Waterloo, USA.
From Booklist:
Gr. 7-12. High production values and a clear, comprehensive presentation make this a wonderful book for both would-be cartoonists and manga fans. Full-color spreads treat narrow topics--from facial expressions and postures to architecture and vehicle design. In each case, Okum, an art teacher, buttresses concise, step-by-step directions with illustrations that show preliminaries through the finished creation, and after treating the array of details, including plot-line deconstruction, he discusses panels and page layout. He mentions manga's relationship to Japanese theater in several places, talks about the differences among stories intended for specific audiences, and packs in information about manga conventions' relationship to Japanese popular culture and the differences between European and Asian mythologies. Complete with a list of culture-specific symbols, such as falling cherry blossoms, this well-executed, information-packed volume can serve student researchers as well as browsers. Francisca Goldsmith
