Continuing back with our look at this 1973 release that explained elements of filmmaking storytelling and composition by using visual examples selected from contemporaneous Marvel comic books. This was a volume that could be found in many an artist’s drawing space during the 1970s.
A sequence illustrated by Larry Lieber.
Here are two sequences by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, respectively.
A sequence by John Buscema.
A repeat of that Larry Lieber sequence from the chapter break.
A Steve Ditko sequence, no doubt pulled from a recent reprint of this early 1960s story.
What looks to be an example by Gene Colan on the right.
A sequence that was at least broken down by John Romita.
For this next set of example, it looks as though the authors couldn’t find examples that they liked, and so they had their own drawn.
Some John Romita here, finished by Jim Mooney on the right.
ADDITION: That’s a Gene Colan sequence on the right side, no Romita or Mooney to it at all.
A George Tuska sequence on the lower left.
That first panel is a Gil Kane image.
John Buscema on the upper right.
Ross Andru at the upper left, Jack Kirby on the lower right.
That’s a Sal Buscema sequence at the upper right.
A George Tuska panel at the upper right.
Some Gene Colan (with John Romita revisions to Captain America’s face) on this page.
More Gene Colan.
Sal Buscema on the upper left.
There’s more to look at in this volume, so we’ll pick this up at some point in the future.

“What looks to be an example by Gene Colan on the right.”
Yeah, that’s a severely-cropped full-page spread from Genial Gene and Merciless Mike Esposito, SUB-MARINER 43.

Nitpicking maybe, but your caption for p. 29 says ‘Some John Romita here, finished by Jim Mooney on the right’, but the artwork is a Romita panel inked by Joe Sinnott and a Gene Colan sequence ‘on the right’ (possibly the introduction of Whiplash, striding away in the first panel). Am I reading the captions wrong?
