In How Comics Work, Dave Gibbons offers a category in creating comic books. Be told scriptwriting, page layouts, lettering and more from the improbable artist in the back of Watchmen!

This “How It is Done” series reveals insider hints, tips, and tricks from one of the vital world’s greatest comic creators in his own words. The artist in the back of juggernauts like Watchmen and The Green Lantern, Dave Gibbons is here to teach you scriptwriting, page layouts, lettering, cover designs, and more, and he’s doing it with scans of original artwork and infrequently seen workings to illustrate his personal creative processes. 

How Comics Work covers both Gibbons’ hand-drawn and digital design techniques in depth. An early adopter of computer design in comic creation, all his lettering is digital, and he even has his own ‘hand-lettered’ font. That is your chance to achieve insight to Gibbons’ digital work, from his computer coloring and 3D modelling with Angus McKie on Give Me Liberty, to his work on The Originals using digital greytones. You’ll find out how he layers text for editing, creates effects such as flares and neon glows, and prepares artwork for print and online.
