™ and © 2007 TwoMorrows

TwoMorrows uses Free Comic Book Day 2007 as an opportunity to showcase their line of comic-related magazines in the form of an instructional manual/comic history textbook.

How to Draw’s Bret Blevins and Mike Manley show us how to draw exciting figures and a perfect comic page respectively, Rough Stuff’s Bob McLeod critiques an aspiring artist’s work, and Write Now’s Danny Fingeroth provides us with top ten picks for writers. Then, Alter Ego’s Roy Thomas gives us a brief history of comics’ Golden and Silver ages, followed by a one page biography of Jack “King” Kirby by John Morrow, editor of the Jack Kirby Collector. The issue is closed out by Back Issue’s Michael Eury giving us a crash-course in the Bronze Age of comics.
