There's a couple good sections on creativity in general. Especially the existential step by step as to WHY we create art (altruism or selfishness). Side note: reading this thread gave me a good chuckle. Again. Back to thread: I've got the script for this story in development, but believe me, I'm on your side as to what was wrong with this book and hope to fix it in the live action film/pilot. (Notice how many contractions I used!!) For musicians, I’d say you’d have to step back from the specifics of visual art. There’s a couple good sections on creativity in general.

I find 'Understanding Comics' to be completely inessential for people entering into music. “It’s essential reading for anyone in art,comics or any other creative field.”

That's just my admittedly ignorant opinion, of course. Please enlighten us as to the "more glaringly obvious" problems that were missed. I thought most of the glaringly obvious ones were pointed out pretty well, leaving only the horribly-impossible-to-miss ones underexplained. Still, you've gotten a comic published and I haven't. So kudos to you, Mr. Hoffer. Too bad it was this one.

Cute. You missed some more glaringly obvious problems, but that's okay. You probably aren't familiar with "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. It's essential reading for anyone in art,comics or any other creative field. Can't believe I left those uncontracted sentences in there! lol Nice commentary guys. Cute.

See, this is in Image Comics' "realism" phase. They were often criticized for having characters whose (individual) breasts are bigger than their heads. Solution? Make the heads bigger! Realism achieved! “I mean, with regard to the art, why does everyone have such a big head????”

I thought the title was "Detective Five" from looking at the logo, even though that didn't seem quite right either. What about the cover logo itself?
