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.
