The book is adapted to be used in a classroom by students and teachers or by the individual. The book is comprehensive in its choice of subject.

At the end of each chapter, a homework and extra-credit assignment are proposed to give the reader an opportunity to apply what was taught in the chapter. Online resources as well as recommendations for further reading on any given subject are provided for readers seeking to further hone the more particular skills needed in crafting comics.
