Publisher Eco Comics has announced the release of its new series, How to Break Into Comic Books & Graphic Novels.

It aims to provide the most insightful analysis ever of graphic storytelling – while uniquely imparting advice via an actual comic book story, Humans Vs. Monsters.

Virtually every comic book fan has asked one question: How do I break into comics? Many professionals have tried to grapple with an answer – some with more success than others, but arguably none ever getting to the nub of it.

This pioneering analysis of graphic storytelling is weaved into fast-paced fantasy-adventure, Humans Vs. Monsters. It stars a happy-go-lucky human girl – which isn’t as normal as it seems given that she lives in a world of monsters and her only family is a colossal cat-monster who dreams of becoming a comic book creator.

Advice is provided via the very theme of the story, as well as by devices such as Arrow-Boxes, which point to creative elements and discuss their purpose and use. If a character behaves in a certain way, the reasoning is provided. If a particular shot is used, the reader is told why.

Writing, art, pitching, self-promotion – every topic will be dealt with in unprecedented depth in this new digital-only, “paperless-exclusive” series from award-winning publisher Eco Comics.

How to Break Into Comic Books & Graphic Novels: Humans Vs. Monsters #1 is 34 pages and available now at a special introductory price of $0.99 / 0.69p.
