A find from my earliest years of teaching:
Moviemaking Illustrated, a guidebook to filmmaking that uses panels from Marvel Comics to teach all about film. Kirby, Ditko, Steranko, Tuska, Ayers, Colan, Severin, Trimpe, Heck, Buscema--they're all represented, along with many other Marvel artists of the 1960s and early 1970s. In the days before video-capable smartphones made everyone and his/her three-year-old an expert filmmaker, this was a wonderful way to teach the use of lighting and camera angles and other aspects of filmmaking. And it's still a great reminder of just how sophisticated comic book art is in terms of storytelling. If you find one cheap, grab it.
