NOTES
"Designer & illustrator: Mark Kaufman"--Book jacket
"How Comics Are Made covers the entire history of newspaper comics from a unique angle--how they were made and printed. This book combines years of research and dozens of interviews with cartoonists, historians, and production people to tell the story of how a comic starts with an artist's hand and makes it way through transformations into print and onto a digital screen. You'll see reproductions of art and artifacts that have never appeared in print anywhere, and some historic comics will appear for the first time ever in any medium in this book. And you'll find out about metal etching, Dragon's Blood (a real thing), flong (also a real thing), and the massively, almost impossibly complicated path that original artwork took to get onto newsprint in the days of metal relief printing."--
