Abstract
"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."
This is a great text to teach the visual elements and design principles in art appreciation and 2D studio foundations courses. Uses text and image to demonstrate concepts and employs art-historical references.
