Three new mags now shipping from TwoMorrows!

Draw32_LRG

Bwah-hah! Draw! #32 (80 full-color pages, $8.95), yuks it up with super-star penciler Howard Porter (Justice League 3000, Justice League of America, Superman Beyond) as he monologues and demos the creative process that has made him a top-tier penciler for DC Comics. Then we heckle power penciler Jamal Igle (Supergirl, Molly Danger, Zatanna) into spilling his guts about everything from storyboarding to penciling for the big boys, as he gives a breakdown of his working methods. Plus our regular line-up of columnists demonstrate their shtick: Crusty Critic Jamar Nicholas reviewing art supplies, Jerry Ordway showing the Ord-Way of doing comics, and Comic Art Bootcamplessons with Bret Blevins and Draw! editor Mike Manley. No matter how you frame it, this issue kills!
