Just got this press release and I thought it might help someone out there…
After a one-semester hiatus, Dennis O'Neil, prize-winning comics writer and editor, will offer a 10 week course in writing comic books and graphic novels at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies, beginning on February 23. The dominant subject matter of the class will be the techniques and special requirements of writing for the odd amalgam of image and word that is comics, but Dennis will take occasional side trips into such things as the history of the medium, its relationship to mythology, and the why people tell stories. He will also discuss the movie adaptations of comics and, if the class is willing, how comics are edited. Classes will start at 6:45 in the evening and end about two and a half hours later. For more information, see the university's home page.
Can't think of anybody better to teach a class like this. (And yes, I know the listing on the website identifies Denny as a "noted Marvel Comics writer and editor." Well, he was. He was just a noted DC Comics writer and editor for a much longer time.)
