Expressive Anatomy for Comics and Narrative: Principles and Practices from the Legendary Cartoonist
Will Eisner. WW Norton, 2008. The final volume of Will Eisner's celebrated instructional trilogy explores the critical principle of body grammar in comics storytelling. Designed and outlined by Will Eisner before his death in 2005, this posthumous masterwork finally reveals the secrets of Eisner's own techniques and theories of movement, body mechanics, facial expressions, and posture: the key components of graphic storytelling.

His control over the mechanical and intuitive skills necessary for its application set him apart among comics artists, and his principles of body grammar have proven invaluable to legions of students in overcoming what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of creating comics. Buttressed by dozens of illustrations, which display Eisner's mastery of expression, both subtle and overt,

This book will benefit comic's fans, students, and teachers and is destined to become the essential primer on the craft. 178 pages. Soft Cover Black & White 8" x 10" (200mm x 250mm) (ISBN-13: 9780393331288)
