Summary
Summary
The bestselling international classic on storytelling and visual communication
"You must read this book." -- Neil Gaiman
Praised throughout the cartoon industry by such luminaries as Art Spiegelman, Matt Groening, and Will Eisner, Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics is a seminal examination of comics art: its rich history, surprising technical components, and major cultural significance. Explore the secret world between the panels, through the lines, and within the hidden symbols of a powerful but misunderstood art form.
Reviews 2
Booklist Review
Part deconstruction, part literary analysis, and part technical explanation, McCloud's introduction to sequential art is rendered in the format of the traditional graphic novel.
Library Journal Review
McCloud's intelligent tome on the importance of comics and the language of the medium is required reading for any comics aficionado or anyone new to the format. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
