Q and A - Books and Characters
If you want to make comics, these two books are your holy bible. Understanding Comics and Making Comics by Scott McCloud. Understanding Comics deconstructs the how and why comics work, while Making Comics takes those principals and teaches you how to construct comics. There are a lot of books about how to draw, and about perspective and inking, etc. But there aren’t many which can go into such perfect detail on what makes comics so special. Anyone serious about making comics should definitely check them out and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
As for other characters, I have a ton of them, but most simply aren’t ready or useable yet. Here’s just a small sample of odd-ball characters I don’t get to use very often from left to right: Janus the Elf, Percy Phillips, Magician Malady, and Dumbbell.

I am so checking those books out. Normally when you ask about comic creation books in bookstores you get referred to some unhelpful resources!

@Pradio yep, no need to worry. He is just taking a quick breather from SYAC. Can't say I blame him either. A comic every other day is hard work.

@Namless Oh Ok. My comment seems to be missing for some reason so I don't really remember what I said but from the context it was probably something like "Percy doesn't look like doctor who at all I mean he's missing the bow tie" or something like that. Anyway you seem pretty cool so nice to meet. you.
@Ultimateifrit Oh thanks that explains a lot!

@Pradio no, I dont hate Vietnam, I just couldnt think of a name, so I misspelt Nameless to give me Namless. because I am that bad at spelling.
also, I dont know HOW-I think its the hair and white shirt and suspenders-and I'm just really weird like that

@Equius Unlikely, he posted on his Deviantart about every other convention he's gone to so it goes without saying he would have said something about this if he actually went. Plus he doesn't go to many conventions to be honest. I'm really starting to get worried...maybe he got in an accident or something and is in the hospital!

I read his three books about once a year for inspiration in all areas of art and life. Sequential art is pretty amazing.
