You're no idiot, of course. You know that the graphic novel is the hot medium for all sorts of stories-using pictures and words to portray everything from personal tales to action epics. It's an art form as limitless as your imagination so where do you begin?

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Graphic Novel is for you whether you want to write, draw, or do it all yourself. It shows you exactly how to develop your concept into a story, a story into a script, and a script into a completely drawn graphic novel prepared for publication. In this Complete Idiot's Guide, you get:

? The pros and cons of collaborating on a project with a fellow creator-and of pursuing it solo.

? Insight on how to create character design and model sheets.

? Strategies for promoting and publicizing via the web, advertising, and conventions.

? An eight-page chapter from the authors' graphic novel, The Big Con, which offers a rare look at a script's evolution from start to finish.
