I'm not much for the endless torrent of online lists that bombard us every day... but this one caught my eye and is actually pretty darn good. I have a rather extensive collection of art and art instruction books and I've been meaning to revisit many of them and perhaps post some information and reviews about them myself. Perhaps this will be the impetus that gets me started.
Of this list of 20, I currently own 10. Several of the others have been on my radar, and there are a couple more I never heard of that caught my attention and will now be on my "to get" list. There are a couple books not listed that I would highly recommend, such as Comic Book Design by Gary Spencer Millidge and How Comics Work by Dave Gibbons and Tim Pilcher. Oh yeah, and McCloud's Making Comics, Panel Discussions, How to Draw by Terry Moore...
Ah, shit... I'm gonna have to make a list one of these days!
