Synopsis by Elizabeth Smith

Aspiring cartoonists with a flair for action, drama, and humor may want to watch this program featuring two of Marvel Comic's top artists. John Buscema, the man responsible for Conan the Barbarian and Silver Surfer, teaches a few of the basic drawing skills while Stan Lee demonstrates several others. Lee is best known to comic book fans as the creator of both Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk. The two men present each lesson at levels appropriate for both beginners and experienced cartoonists. They discuss such topics as perspective, proportion, penciling, and finding new ways to help drawings convey a sense of excitement and drama.
