If you are interested in manga, or really any kind of cartooning or storytelling, Manga Art is for you!"

"I devoured this book in one sitting. Mark's work is beautiful and inspiring, and I had so many sketching ideas by the end that I had to slap my hands away from the art supply box so I could write this, instead. Thank you, Mark, this book is another one that is definitely going on my art shelf!"
