Author Ron Fortier's Mr. Jigsaw has adorned many comic-book adventures over the years, always accompanied by the awesome artwork of Gary Kato. The Man of a Thousand Parts now hosts a noteworthy, how-to special edition.
Fortier's "Mr. Jigsaw: How to Make a Comic Book (How a Mr. Jigsaw Comic is Made)", published by Rob Davis' Redbud Studio, takes the reader through all the necessary steps to construct a comic book. The process is cheerfully detailed through Fortier's script-page samples and Kato's sketched outlines, which culminate in an actual, paneled story, featuring Mr. Jigsaw's dear pal, Amy Buck Boucher. For the record Fortier performs as one of the instructional characters, along with the magical Great Waldo. You'll be surprised by how much you learn, as these endearing folks bring the connecting formats to succinct life.
As fans are aware, Fortier teaches a comic-book course at Colorado's Front Range Community College. Alas, not all of Fortier's admirers can attend, but at least this special edition grants them his valuable know-how in a fun, condensed way. It's also a nifty Mr. Jigsaw collectible in its own delightful right.
