New Book Features CCS Sketchbooks

“This book, just one of the recent acquisitions to the Schulz Library’s “artists sketchbook” section, is both visually impressive and intellectually stimulating. For fans of comics, it’s a fascinating insight into the minds of successful creators. For other artists, and students like myself, it can also be a profound source of inspiration and a reminder that there is no one “right way” to create comics and comic art.”–Sasha Steinberg, guest writer for The Schulz Blog
