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.

Review of 'Understanding Comics' on 'Goodreads'

I've been reading comics since I was small. I've borrowed this book a couple of times and never actually read it. After receiving it as a gift I devoured it. What a great read.

I will certainly never read a comic in the same passive manner as I did in the past.
