By: Scott McCloud

“Reading Understanding Comics blew my teenage mind, and gave me a toolbox full of ideas that I still use today.” —Raina Telgemeier

The bestselling international classic on storytelling and visual communication.

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.

In 1994 Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture with Understanding Comics, a comic book about comics, which linked the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design. Since its publication, Understanding Comics has found a place in all sorts of college courses—from composition and the art of narrative to graphic design and graphic novels.

With McCloud as their guide, students will unravel the secrets of telling a story—and they’ll see how each step along the way is filled with possible pitfalls and artistic possibilities.
