Outside the Panels: Comics, the Classroom, and the Creative Life

Curated from his writings for Graphic Policy—covering everything from a childhood love of superheroes to an ongoing exploration of more mature comics and geeky experiences—CJ Standal offers deep analysis into one of the hottest media today and the life of those who grew up loving that medium: comics.

A former high school English teacher, one who created and ran a graphic novel class, Standal reflects on his experiences designing and teaching such a unique course. Get in on the ground floor of one of the most exciting movements in education!

A critically acclaimed comic creator in the last five years, Standal covers the process of creating a comic: taking an idea from outline to script to comic page. Not only that, but Standal walks the reader through the steps of publication and running a successful Kickstarter.

With something for everyone—autobiographical essays on being a geek, analysis of some of the medium's best stories and movements, a guide on how to produce and sell comics—Outside the Panels is a treat for casual readers, educators, and creators alike!
