[edit] Reviews
Silver Bullet Comic Books said: [1]
"Panel Discussions" is a unique and comprehensive examination of the comic book creative process. Depending on your interests it is either an exceptional series of comic industry interviews or a technical manual of visual storytelling guidelines. It works for me on both levels. “Panel Discussions” suffers only slightly from brevity of page count and some minor color issues. It is indispensable reading for anyone interested in the subject of sequential art.
[edit] Name
The title is a pun, in that it is a collaborative work (i.e. a panel) on the artistry of sequential art, defined in part by graphic panels.
