Perfect Gifts for that undiscovered cartoonist

James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederic Frost keep rolling out the goofy and brilliant ADVENTURES IN CARTOONING series—and we keep receiving fan art and original comics from 7, 8, and 9 year old talents! Some of them may even have found their calling thanks to these gems. Do you know a budding genius who might thank you forever for giving them an ADVENTURE IN CARTOONING?

For the more practiced, Jessica Abel and Matt Madden have distilled their years of teaching comics at the School of Visual Arts in NY into two essential volumes that are being hailed as cornerstones of the graphic novel craft. DRAWING WORDS & WRITING PICTURES along with MASTERING COMICS are being adopted in classrooms and for self-study everywhere. This thorough masterclass arms the aspiring and the seasoned comics author in a way no other manual has yet.

Great gifts that will keep on giving—for the coming generations of inspired comics creators.
