Beneath this less than satisfactory, unrepresentative cover, lurks an amazing assemblage of fantastic sketchbook samples from a host of talented (and copacetic) comics creators from across the specturm.

This massive*, 352 page, 9" x 12", full color, French-flapped softcover is brimming over with great – and inspiring – drawings, layouts, sketches, doodles, thumbnails and more.

When this book was originally released in 2012 (!) not only did the art department let this book down, so did the marketing department, as nowhere in the material assembled to promote this book did they list the actual artists it contains.  Why not???  If only they had!  Well, better late than never, we say, so here goes:

WOW!  RIght?

GONE! (but there may be more copies lurking somewhere in the hoard.  So it wouldn't hurt to check back...)

* Four pounds!  Thus the high shipping charge.
