Reviews
Cleverly disguised as an easy-to-read comic book, Scott McCloud's simple-looking tome deconstructs the secret language of comics while casually revealing secrets of time, space, art and the cosmos! The most intelligent comics I've seen in a long time. Bravo.

Items were great, seller was difficult to communicate with about a shipping price adjustment but I’d rather not give a less than positive review.

    Fun & Profound

    This is a great read! Actually profound & always entertaining. I read this originally in art school 5 years ago & have been thinking about it ever since. Glad to finally have a nice copy for myself.

  • Comics as an art form

    This book is amazing, because in simplistic terms in manages to establish comics as its own seperate art form. McCloud identifies this third dimension in between depicted reality and figurative idea called the picture plane. The plane, a combination of abstraction from images and writer's intent, forms a new union between thought and the way thought is projected. I know all this sounds very technical, like this should be an exhaustedly trivial attempt in new philosophy. It's defiinitely not. It is drawn like a comic book. Every idea is explained in a very engaging way by using succint imagery to enhance the topic. Essentially, he is using the medium of comics, a medium that is baser than literature or photography, to explain the necessity for comics. I.e. an art form that makes ...

  • They came in great condition

    Both books gave incredible insight into not just comics but all forms of visual arts and I highly recommend them.

  • Reference book for comic's (great starting book)

    A great starting book for if your wanting to get into comic's. It doesn't have everything you need to know about how to do it, just more of a understanding around them, Where they started, why artists use what they use in comic's, the idea of inspiration to do it, etc. Keep in mind it's not about how to make comic's, just why we make comic's.

  • Great book i wud highly recommend it to any writers

    Scott McCLoud is a great teacher and this book is proof. I bought his second book before i had this one and it was very helpful when i was making comic. It was also helpful with story formation and linear progression in stories and art. I got the first book in the mail yesterday and was not disappointed it had everything the second book had and was a great addition to my library. If you had no idea how to make a comic book or how to write, after reading this book you would have the polished tools of the trade to get started and perform quite well. I highly recommend this book and any of the other works that McCloud puts his name on.Thank You.
