Review
“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.” - Art Spiegelman
“Reading Understanding Comics blew my teenage mind, and gave me a toolbox full of ideas that I still use today.” - Raina Telgemeier
“The best analysis of the medium that I have ever encountered.” - Alan Moore
“McCloud’s masterwork is not just an indispensable treatise on comics, it’s also the best primer around on visual literacy and the mechanics of storytelling. A must-read for anyone interested in narrative of any kind.” - Alison Bechdel
