Dry. Rambling. Unfocused. And Boring. The series of "Coloring & Lettering", "Guide to Inking Comics", and "Guide to Penciling Comics" is a GREAT concept. Which doesn't make up for it being poorly put together. It feels like several artists were pulled together for each book by some half-wit executive and told to write a multi-page blurb about a topic for which they would receive a modest stipend. The hearts of the authors are not in the creation of the presented material. There is some good stuff in here if you are willing to dig for it and have a basic understanding of what they are talkin. Stress said The BEST book on INKING, yet.. I've read a lot of books on how-to-do comic art, some on writing and publishing, and this book stood out as soon as I began reading it. Last night I finished, and have to recommend this as the best book I ever read on the subject of comic book inking, and there is little need to improve over it as a feast of information. What Janson leaves out can be found in other books, but he carved the meat off the bone where others before were clawing off unappetizing chunks.Absolutely brilliant tips, tricks and approaches are found in these pages. The reviewer tha. "Short book with some interesting insights" according to Darren Roche. Was looking for a more defined book on inking techniques. Where this book is well written and has some great examples on inking it Does not give the insight you need to know how to ink. Though, the writer himself is an accomplished inker, none of the techniques he used, or ways the overcame problems are told in this book. Just a general idea of , hey, this is what you need to think about when you ink. Good for someone who knows how to use ink. Not so good for someone looking for techniques in inking in comics.
