Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels

(W/A) Scott McCloud. Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture with Understanding Comics* a massive comic book about comics* linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory* movie criticism* and web design. In Making Comics* this artistic genius focuses his analysis on the art form itself* exploring the creation of comics* from the broadest principles to the most minute artistic details. McCloud's cartoon narrator shows how to master the human condition through word and image in a brilliantly minimalistic way. Comic book devotees as well as the most uninitiated will marvel at this journey into a once-underappreciated art form.
