Craft of Comics: Frank Quitely
Posted by Gavin Lees on August 9th, 2010 at 12:01 AMThis is the first part in a series of videos by Gavin Lees called “The Craft of Comics.”
In The Comics Journal #300, Frank Quitely (We3, Flex Mentallo, Batman and Robin) spoke at length with Dave Gibbons on new innovations in creating comics digitally. Of particular note was their enthusiasm for Wacom’s Cintiq pen display which they had both used to great effect in their recent work.
In the following video, Quitely demonstrates how he uses his Cintiq to improve his workflow with traditional media and takes us through some of the preliminary steps in creating a cover for the relaunch of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents for DC Comics (see the finished version above).
Lees’ “Craft of Comics” series continues on Wednesday, Aug. 11, with the first of a two-parter featuring Jamie Grant.

These are guys who grew up with The Simpsons as well as “The Bash Street Kids”; who identify as much with Enid and Rebecca as with Dennis and Gnasher, and for whom comics primarily mean American exports. It’s that mentality that really prevails in the three publications under scrutiny in this two-part essay – Wasted, Nexion and Khaki Shorts – three anthologies that share much of the same cast of creators and really exemplify the new wave of Scottish underground cartooning.
