Understanding Comics
by Scott McCloud (Author)

“Reading Understanding Comics blew my teenage mind, and gave me a toolbox full of ideas that I still use today.”
—Raina Telgemeier - The bestselling international classic on storytelling and visual communication.

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.
