Here's a start:

Then go to "Drawing Comics" and click on the "Studio Gear" link.

Basically you make an 11" by 20" frame, install glass/plasic (clear and sturdy) in one side of it, and install a bright lamp under the glass. You might also want to consider adding a peg-board if you intend to do any form of animation or tracing.

Check with a Hobby store or possibly your local "DIY" center like Home Depot or Loews. You might also look under "window repair" in the yellow pages.
