The PRINT Edition is SOLD OUT! But it's part of the book HOW TO CREATE COMICS, and the DIGITAL Edition of this issue is available!

Fall 2004 - 96 Pages with Color Section

DRAW! #9 concludes a two-part crossover with Write Now #8 (shipping earlier this month)! You’ll continue to follow the creative process of Danny Fingeroth and Mike Manley as they create their new comic character, “The Thief of Time”. The result is a full-color 8-page comic bound into this issue of Draw! Want to know how to make a comic book from scratch? All the answers are in this two-part series, taking you from script to print. Where Write Now #8 leaves off with brainstorming concepts, sketches, plot, and scripting, Mike Manley and Draw! take over with penciling, inking and coloring, lettering, and prepress. You’ll even follow the process of shepherding a comic all the way through the printing plant as well, teaching you everything you need to make your own comic! On top of all this will be an interview and demo by PVP’s (Player vs. Player) Scott Kurtz! A spotlight on Noel Sickles, “Father of the realistic comic strip” by Bret Blevins! Adobe Illustrator demos by Alberto (Dr. Cyberfunken) Ruiz! The return of Ande Parks, the Crusty Critic, with art supply reviews! Plus Draw!’s new Comics Section, featuring all new comics by some of today’s top cartoonists, like Bill Wray, Jose Agreda, and more!
