I really, really like this book!

It was from the kids section, and although some parts are very basic others are not. It starts right from stick figures all the way to a final comic layout. It's filled with great tips on marvel character proportions, inking and how to achieve the pose before fleshing it out - which was the most helpful thing I learned from it.
