Excellent work on the art of comics and the underlying mechanics (and philosophies) that make comics work, and that make them valuable and intriguing as an art form. A comic about comics. Great stuff.

A lot of what is said in this book is common sense, only for the author to over explain it in an incredibly dry way that masks itself as quirky. It is more a book that is about appreciating the history of comics rather than giving insight into the format that isn't already known.

Naprostá pecka, která nepokrývá pouze komiks, ale celkově umění jako takové. Skvělý náhled do storytellingu a hry s emocemi.

It definitely helped me a lot in further understanding comics. It helped me get through an class that forced me to analyze comics. If you want to know more about the art 9f comics or need to get through an analysis this is the correct book to look at.
