Comics as a Tool


As I was reading a novel yesterday.... of the graphic variety... and it struck me how valuable comics can be to the improviser, and actor for that matter. The comic book artist is an expert at capturing emotion in a moment. What a valuable archive of emotion in every panel. Jealousy, pride, envy and hundreds more are locked away in the pages of comics, ripe for the studying.

Sometimes, modeling your behavior off something/someone else, is helpful. Graphic novels can assist you.

P.S. I highly suggest the works of Alex Robinson. The guy is a genius with emotion.
