In the early 1900s C.N. Landon instructed young cartoonists in the
fundamentals of drawing and inking cartoon characters, influencing a
generation of artists. Carl Barks (Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge), Floyd Gottfredson (Mickey Mouse),
Roy Crane (Wash Tubbs and Buz Sawyer), Milton Caniff (Buzz Sawyer), and
Jack Cole (Plastic Man) all took instruction from Landon. This expanded
SECOND EDITION contains:
* over 50 pages of new material
* revised and updated introduction
* complete reprints of
Pen and Ink magazine numbers 3 (1911) and 7 (1918)
* sewn perfect binding for additional durability
With over 290 pages of vintage instructions, drawings,
and promotional material, this facsimile edition will appeal to comic fans
and historians alike.
When students graduated from Landon's school, he sent them a booklet on
how to market themselves. I've uploaded a free digital copy of
Landon's booklet here.
