Here’s an interesting little book that was a fixture among comic book artists during the 1970s.MOVIEMAKING ILLUSTRATED: THE COMICBOOK FILMBOOK was co-authored by James Morrow and Murray Suid and strived to teach film storytelling by using examples from the comic book medium. They had gotten the rights from Marvel Comics to reproduce panels and sequences from their comics to do so. So this little volume was an excellent primer on visual storytelling that applied both to motion pictures and static comic book pages. It was released in 1973.
A couple of panels by Steve Ditko top off this chapter heading.
Some Jack Kirby panels on the bottom, including a couple that make interesting storytelling choices.
And some images by John and Marie Severin here.
We’ll move more directly into the next section on shots when we continue.

Never even heard of this before today.

Yup, this is new to me as well. What an interesting concept! Looking forward to more.

The kids in the street are a good example of a 2-panel “before & after” sequence. A movie could show the same in one shot.
Comics would “compensate” for the difference with those “after images” of a character like Spidey moving across a panel.
I love the stark, dramatic lighting, the heavy use of ink, in these.

I saw a copy of this in film school in the 80’s. One of the professors had a copy and I either borrowed it or read it in thier office, don’t remember. I had completely forgotten about it.

I ran across a copy at a used bookstore around 1976. I stood there and went through the whole thing. Didn’t have enough money to buy it that day, though, and the next time I went, it was gone. Have never seen another copy.
