1st printing. By John Lowe. Professional comic artists interpret scripts every day as they successfully transform the written word into the visual form. Rarely do we get to examine the process that is unique to each artist. Unlike any other "how-to" book, Working Methods puts the minds of comic artists under the microscope, highlighting the intricacies of the creative process step by step. For this book, three short scripts are each interpreted in different ways by professional comic artists to illustrate the varied ways in which they "see" and "solve" the problem of making a script succeed in comic form. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 176 pages, B&W. Cover price $21.95.

Things seem weird, even by Deadpool's standards, when Matt "Daredevil" Murdock offers him a profitable - nay, straightforward! - contract. No chaos, no unpredictability, no funny business... C'mon, Murdock, that's just not Deadpool's style. Sensing something is up, Deadpool grabs an innocent bystander off the street to confuse any semblance of predictability the universe is trying to force on him. Good-hearted mischief spirals into a sinister plot full of impenetrable bank vaults, crime lords stroking their (lack of) mustaches in very evil ways, and an assortment of offensively stylish suits that are begging to be blown up, Deadpool discovers his choices are no longer his own - they're yours!
