Another I'd suggest for comics, and this isn't necessarily a writing guide but I've found it endlessly inspirational over the years is "The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore" by George Khoury. It's basically a 200-page long interview with Moore and is all about his life and his work, and I found I learned more in that about how to think about writing than in a dozen other books.
Thanks! And yeah, Mattia is way too talented to be within my orbit. Very fortunate to have worked with him.
I need to check out the Alan Moore book. He's always been a bit crotchety for my tastes when it comes to interviews, but I'll take your word for it on this one. :)
Great write-up, and great resources!

Kickass variant cover!
