Understanding comics : the invisible art

McCloud, Scott, 1960-1994
Book
In this book you will: take a magic carpet ride through the hidden worlds of comics storytelling ; witness a history more than 3,000 years old ; explore the secrets between the panels ; feel the energy of line and color ; tap into the power of symbols ; get a ring-side seat for the battle of words and pictures ; and most of all, see why comics can be as vital and important as film, prose or any other art form, through the fascinating process that leads to really understanding comics.
