The Best of Wizard Basic Training: HOW TO DRAW V.1:
over 250 pages of tutorials from Jim Lee, Michael Turner, George Perez, Adam Hughes, Joe Kubert, Frank Cho, Mike Wieringo, Terry More, and more!! With lessons from layouts to vehicles, and perspective to sex appeal and how to draw sultry women, tihs is a great book. Also contains a forward from Joe Quesada, pro tips, and scripts from Brian Michael Bendis to practice with. This book is definitely a must have.

George Bridgemans Complete Guide to Drawing From Life: essential for improving good anatomy. Collects all his books into one and is the book Jim Lee supposedly drew from. Recommended from almost every pro I've been able to snag a critique from.

Comics and Sequential Art; And Narrative and Graphic storytelling. by Will Eisner. Another essential for learning for learning how to improve storytelling ability, and to improve pacing and page layouts. Also good for comic theory. Eisner was definitely an innovator in his times. May he rest in peace.

Understanding comics: explains the history of comics all the way back to the incans, pacing of comics, what goes on between the panel, timeing, the building of great artist, and more. Told in comicook format, gives a fresh view on comics: where they come from, where they are, and where they are going. Reinventing Comics(his second book) explains new ideas, techiniques, and the process used to get the book from artist to reader.

DC'S Guide to....Penciling,Inking, Writing, and coloring/leterring: Each of these are great and informative. With everything from how to break in, to the nitty gritty of design and pacing.

Marvels Guide to Drawing Comics: a beginers guide to drawing for comics, this is an excellent book to start out with. Nothing is to indepth, but it explains the bare basics an aspiring artists needs to know. Definitely the first book to start out with.

BTW: I wouldn't recommend and of Chris Harts stuff and Hogarth books are good, but not great anatomy books to use. Many pro's steer clear of them while others only use them for occasional reference.
