Filth & Grammar: The Comic Book Editor’s (Secret) Handbook by Shelly Bond

Hi, I’m Mark from Plague Doctor Press, writer of S.P.I.R.I.T. and Stranger Ranger, and this is Writing Comics: Core Reads.

Filth & Grammar: The Comic Book Editor’s (Secret) Handbook by Shelly Bond
Shelly Bond was a DC/Vertigo editor for 20 years—she knows her shit. This is the best book for comic writers since Understanding Comics!

It walks you through the entire comic creation process step by step from an editor’s perspective. Whether you’re writing, editing, or collaborating, this book will make you better.
On top of that, it’s beautifully illustrated by Imogen Mangle and Laura Hole, making it a kick to read. This is a book that never leaves my desk.

What do you think of Filth & Grammar? How has it helped your comic writing?

If you have other books you’d like me to review, drop them in the comments!

Keep reading and writing comics!
