Things that inspire us: Understanding Comics

81VZc-YIAiL

“Understanding Comics’ is a comic book written and drawn by Scott McCloud; this is a classic.

The comic book is comic about comics—a sort of meta enquiry of the genre, analysing in great details the narrative process, the stylisation and iconification of a comic elements.
It looks at drawing in sequence as a mean to tell a story, using historical references from the Egyptian or the european Middle Age as well as contemporary examples.
It lists and details the differences in between various genres (Manga, American comics, Belgian style, etc.) and explains their specifics; both in formal and concpetual terms.
It’s an exciting journey that will lead you to discover the art of telling a story through drawings in sequence.

Why we like it:
– it explains in very simple terms complex or advanced notions of representation
– it draws back on History to explain things you might intuitively already know but hadn’t put together yet.
– I love comic books
