Comics Sketchbooks presents the private notebooks of 76 of the world's most inventive, innovative and successful artists, alongside new talents and emerging illustrators, in a breathtaking range of creative play. From cartoons to the graphic novel, from humour to superheroes, comics are the world's most popular form of illustration. However, we rarely see the creative thinking - the doodling, the experimentation - that leads to fully formed visual ideas and stories. Although there have been several comic-book compilations over the years, none has the visual excitement, creative insight and mind-blowing creativity - and fun - of Comics Sketchbooks. POW!!!!

A privileged look inside the private notebooks of nearly 80 international comics creators
