Abstract

Critical review of the book Panel discussions, publishe in 2007 by the  educator, artist and cartoonist Durwin S. Talon. The book is composed by a series of interviews with comics artists (as David Mazzucchelli, Will Eisner, Walter Simonson and Mike Mignola) as well as by punctual analyses of a sample of the production of each artist. The main objective of the book is showing that the design can help the comics narrative and how each artist finds specific graphic solutions in his works.
