Written by the iconic Stan Lee, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way is a must-have book for Marvel fans and anyone looking to draw their first comic strip.
Stan Lee, the Mighty Man from Marvel, and John Buscema, active and adventuresome artist behind the Silver Surfer, Conan the Barbarian, the Mighty Thor and Spider-Man, have collaborated on this comics compendium: an encyclopedia of information for creating your own superhero comic strips. Using artwork from Marvel comics as primary examples, Buscema graphically illustrates the hitherto mysterious methods of comic art. Stan Lee’s pithy prose gives able assistance and advice to the apprentice artist. Bursting with Buscema’s magnificent illustrations and Lee’s laudable word-magic, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way belongs in the library of everyone who has ever wanted to illustrate his or her own comic strip.

Classic how-to book for aspiring comic book artists
"There are a lot of how-to books for aspiring comic book artists on the market and they vary in quality. How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way is an oldie but a goodie. It was originally published in 1978, so it's now a bit dated. There's no mention of computers and all the artwork is from the 1960s and 70s. However, writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema did a great job of explaining the basics of drawing comics, including figure drawing, perspective, foreshortening, composition, and inking. I got a copy of the book two decades ago and found it very helpful. I still go back to it when I need a refresher on the fundamentals of comic book art."
— Colin (5/5)
After 40 years, it still holds up!
"As a budding young, teenage, wannabe comic book illustrator and after years of lusting after it, I was able to get this gem in my grubby little hands. A great guide to not just drawing superfolks."
— TheCuban (5/5)
I used this at one time to try & draw DC characters. . .
"Yes, I know it sounds strange- as a youngster Superman & Batman caught my attention more than Spider-man & The Hulk . I stumbled upon this book by chance in the local library & it was the best art book to try & learn from in terms of drawing 3 dimensional forms. The technique of 'drawing through an object' is one that remains true to this day. This is a MUST-HAVE book to read fro any beginning artist."
— DJ5O (4/5)
STILL a great reference book!
"This book is over 30 years old now, and still holds up!"
— Whiplash (5/5)

Stan Lee (1922–2018) began his long career with wartime Timely Comics, but “the Man” made comic book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in comic book writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry’s greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in The Incredible Hulk, TheAmazing Spider-Man, The UncannyX-Men, and more, forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After a lifetime’s worth of writing and editing, Lee was involved in movies and television via his company POW! Entertainment. He was Marvel’s chairman emeritus and best-known public representative.
