Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Inspirational, informative, but dated...
I remember first seeing this in VHS form MANY years ago, and I enjoyed it. More as a cheerleading device than an article of information. Even when I first saw it, I realized from comic books I was reading at the time, that many of the things being said about comics in general, and Marvel specifically, were simply not true anymore. The "Marvel Way" being viewed and discussed is the way of 1970. The way of John Buscema and Jack Kirby.
There is nothing wrong with this "way", it's just not what's ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good DVD for your Drawing Collection
A good way to see how things are done, but I wish they had went into a detailed step-by-step instruction of the drawings. But I would recommend this for anyone who wants to get into drawing comic books. You still have to learn perspective and anatomy and things like that in more detail. There are a lot of great books out there for that. But this is a good DVD to have in your drawing collection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More like, "How to Talk the Marvel Way"
Way too much exposition and not enough, how you say, "Bob Ross"-style step by step instruction, but hey, that's what art school is for, right, Binky?

Anyhoo, John and Stan do an excellent job explaining the basics of figure drawing and composition choices for comic panels. Inspirational, and rather like hanging at a family gathering with the oldsters. That's my opinion/memory implant. Very 80's in video quality and the music; oy! the soundtrack! I was waiting for someone to get a pie ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't Waste Your Money
There is NOTHING in this DVD that wasn't in the book. In fact, Stan and John basically read the book to you as they show you the pictures from the book. I was hoping to actually SEE the artists do the drawings, but there is maybe 60 seconds total of footage of actual drawing. The rest of the video is just John Buscema tracing over all the images that are already in the book. If you really want to learn to draw comics, this isn't for you. If you just want a basic overview of the process, this dvd ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Your son like HQs ?
Well, if he likes, give him this Video and extimulate him to try it out drawing !!! It's a great video and can definitivelly help him enter in this fantastic world.
