When I opened my copy of 'Writers Dream Kit' (part of the Write Brothers 'Dramatica' line), I found a 32-page comic book inside. I think it's their version of an instruction booklet. Here's a page explaining about 'storyforming.'
What a creative way to get people to read the instructions! (If only text books were set up like that!)
Thanks Tiffany!
Check out Larry Gonick's Cartoon History of... series. The Modern World (volume 1) just came out.
Their standard text book can be found at: http://dramatica.com/theory/theory_book/dtb.html
If you enjoy these, I highly recommend the daily dramatica blog ( http://www.dailydramatica.com/ ). I reviewed all of these some time ago at: http://headinside.blogspot.com/2006/07/review-dramatica.html
