mediabistro.com’s Comic Book Guy Distills Six Years of Writing Advice

By Neal 

danny-fingeroth-writenow.jpgIt was almost six years ago that former Marvel Comics editor (and occasional mediabistro.com instructor) Danny Fingeroth launched Write Now!, a magazine about writing comic books. He’s collected some of the best material from the first sixteen issues in an oversized trade paperback from TwoMorrows Publishing. I spent some of yesterday afternoon poring over the interviews with writers like Brian Michael Bendis and Stan Lee, and I’m really looking forward to digging into veteran writer/editor Denny O’Neill‘s “Comics 101” lecture notes. There’s also a huge middle section where scripts from various comics are juxtposed with the pencilled pages that looks cool.
