Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice by Ivan Brunetti
What It Is and Syllabus by Lynda Barry
Cartooning: The Art and the Business by Mort Gerberg (out of print but available used)
Introduction to Cartooning by Richard Taylor - from the 40s and long out of print, but available through Amazon and probably less evil retailers.
Comics and Sequential Art Vol 1-3 by Will Eisner
Drawing Comics Lab by Robyn Chapman
Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert (I know I know Eat Pray Ugh but this is brilliant)
On Writing by Stephen King
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Triggering Town by Richard Hugo
..and I will absolutely be the brown-noser that recommends How to Say Everything, by that redoubtable genius, Tom Hart.
I hope these are enough to get you started!!

Emily

Tom and the friends at SAW
