Review from before: I've used this volume many times to teach comics nuts. It'southward the best book I've found for doing this, and it's in a comics format, with McCloud as the cartoony and erudite "narrator". While thoroughly applied, it'southward also the most philosophical and thorough and at the aforementioned time efficient guide to the craft. McCloud also wrote Making Comics, for comics artists. This volume is one of the classics of comic history, one of its great books for helping you empathise and appreciate comics for their potential complexity every bit an hybrid art form, without question. If you want to know how comics are made in all its range of possibilities, and if you lot desire to accept run into why this interrelated telling of visuals and words should exist taken seriously every bit art and literature and cultural commentary and entertainment, this is the book for you.

Great book, simply I'g likewise annoyed to give it 4 stars.
It'south non-expert, but I believe if y'all're aware of how not bad a book is while you're reading it, information technology's not working at its best. You tin go 'oh wow that's such a clever style to illustrate this idea, and the text is so effective', just it's a fleck similar reading an educational activity manual, and nothing personal or particularly poignant. I guess the thought is to understand the basic construction and potential of comic art, but must information technology be so academic and dry? The book doesn't limit itself to the conventional art theory, but rather ventures into fundamental epistemological and phenomenological debates. It's informative and eye opening, simply non particularly relevant, like every single other art theory textbook. Except this one has pictures (or should I say, integrated with pictures?)
Understanding Comics is a misleading title, perhaps How to and why you should appreciate comics would arrange the purpose of the volume better. Majority of people (in terms of an audition that is likely to choice upwards a comic-related theory volume) has lilliputian trouble understanding the intention of the drawing and writing - we can feel the atmosphere, be moved by the characters and thrilled by the action. Appreciating the history, concept and techniques that assist build it upwards are, however, often overlooked. Much like film and literature, comics require a lot of conceptual and artful decision to get in effective and communicative, and McCloud tries hard to evaluate the general methods that are used to convey these expressions. It would work better if he utilise more specific works rather than general 'rules', and well-nigh of them just applicable to mainstream comics. The last chapter goes on about the importance of 'agreement', and how comics can serve every bit a keen tool of advice. Bluntly it is a bit arrogant to me. No matter what your medium - ink and paper, music, written words, movie, performance, construction, nosotros as the audience give ourselves far less credit when acumen these fine art forms. Nosotros are subjected to arbitrary pedagogy, test and criticism that are meant to 'guide' our 'understanding' of the creator's concept and execution - how to read them, how to properly experience them, how to get the most of information technology similar the artist 'wants' u.s. to. I feel every bit though McCloud is saying, 'I'chiliad the creator, and you are the reader. Through these lines and colour, I'one thousand telling you what is being expressed. Practise you go information technology? Practise Y'all Get Information technology?'. Fuck this I don't have understand everything in order to capeesh it, accept you lot never read Pynchon or seen anything David Lynch?
Comic art is but some other form of story telling, it is equally capable of existence as representational or avant-garde as any other art form. 'Understanding comics is serious business' - why is information technology serious? why not only go out and say 'respecting comics is serious business'. McCloud also comments on how the merit of comics lies in its ability to convey 'individual voices' through mass production - really now? If you lot want personal expression, why not read a few blogs, talk to strangers in the park, speaker's corner, open mic, go to a concert, hole-and-corner gig, eating place, flickr, public toilet, open up market place, join whatsoever radical societies there are out there? Information technology is almost ridiculous to have to remind people that comics are capable of beingness expressionistic, and please don't try to say your choice of cloth expresses something more profound, original than the others or with more efficiency. Why the fuck should information technology be efficient? Aren't you arguing that comics can be fine art as well? Then why should it be readable, straightforward and commercial like everything else?
GAH I'chiliad angry!
What McCloud is saying is that every bit an artist you have more control over the output. But at least for me, I don't intendance if you came up with the entire concept or worked in a team every bit long equally the outcome is insightful and fun. And then he started talking near the human condition and how nosotros can fix the earth with reading more comics. YEAH. Then there are angels reading comics, statues of bullied comic readers, massive yin yang symbol! montage of swell art works! The world map! Epic lightening! 'THE TRUTH Volition SHINE THROUGH'! (real quote)
That goes on for about 20 pages.
Dear comic art - Don't overestimate yourself, not considering you're insignificant. Yes you lot have a long history indeed, and we 'understand' you're not just some flat tone sexist superhero run a risk, and that you can be every bit postmodern equally whatever other fine art schoolhouse asshole graduate. Message received.

Understanding Comics is a comic nearly comics by Scott McCloud.I remember when this book came out in 1993. My xv year one-time self scoffed. "I've been reading comics for years. What can this book teach me?" Xx five years later and a thousand comics afterward, on the heels of rereading Zot!, I decided to finally requite information technology a shot. I was apprehensive at beginning since y'all actually accept to scrape to notice a negative review of Understanding Comics. Did and then many people similar it or were they afraid to acknowledge they didn't?
Understanding Comics traces the origin of comics back to the ancient Egyptians and other pre-Columbian people. This might be a bit of a stretch simply McCloud explains himself fairly well. More than interesting to me was the explanation of the mechanism of comics and how they piece of work on the human brain, similar the gutter in between panels and the visual language of comics.
While I found a lot of the book interesting, I recall your enjoyment level of Agreement Comics will depend on why you read comics. If you read them because they fascinate you and you see them as an fine art form, this is your volume. If you read them for escapism and amusement, parts of Understanding Comics volition experience like someone reading y'all the nutritional data of your food while y'all're eating information technology.
Recall the part in the beginning of Expressionless Poet Order when Professor Keating has them tear a department out of their textbook? Some of the more than analytical parts of the book experience like the good Professor would have turned them into confetti, like the iii axes of The Picture Plane, Reality, and Pregnant, or graphing scene transitions into Moment to Moment, Action to Action, Subject to Bailiwick, Scene to Scene, Aspect to Aspect, and Non-Sequitur.
All that being said, knowing why things are the way they are and why they piece of work was more than worth my time. Not only that, it shows Scott McCloud's skill as a author and creative person that he took a subject field that could accept been drier than a desert and made it fun and interesting. I look I'll be dipping back into it from time to fourth dimension, along with How to Describe Comics the Marvel Way. 4 out of five stars.

So much and then that information technology increased my love and understanding of comics I read in the past and definitely comics I will read in the time to come.As I was reading other peoples reviews and discussions about this volume I noticed that well-nigh people are intrigued with the idea that the simpler the character on the page is, the easier information technology is for the reader to identify with the character. This is something that I noticed myself long before I read this book, so information technology wasn't so revolutionary to me... Simply his affiliate on fourth dimension and expressing time in space in comics truly blew my listen when I read it. It fabricated me see and truly empathize and then much about pacing in comics. Information technology helped me class, what I like to call, my internal gear shift. As a reader I didn't focus on speed of my reading and over time the just speed for reading became as fast as possible, simply in comics this can be a huge disadvantage specially when going through slower and more than solemn scenes. At present when I see a comic page and take a expect at the limerick of the panels I know when the story demands of me to go faster or slower and I am grateful for this new found noesis.
This volume is an splendid first for anyone who wants to learn about comics, and I certainly volition go along my research on this topic.

Anyway, I was extremely impressed by this book. I can tell that Scott McCloud thinks that he is terrifically important and probably a genius, just, as ofttimes happens to me, I was willing to believe that at least he was smart enough to take earned the right to talk about all of this. Then while there were a few points when I institute him a bit condescending, a bit cloyingly didactic, on the whole I learned a lot about comics and how to think nearly them, and that was groovy.
I though I was going to write nearly some of the things I learned, but information technology'southward belatedly and I'k tired, and honestly one of the things he does best is really use the illustrations and the text in the best symbiotic mode, enhancing and augmenting one another throughout, and so it seems similar it would be reductive and dismissive for me to try to summarize his points with words lonely. So read the book! And then you'll get it for yourself.
(Oh simply except for one thing, which is so cool I just take to share it. He talks a lot well-nigh how the reader is complicit in the telling of a comic story, because so much happens between the panels -- in the gutter, where the reader has to invent what is going on to connect 1 image to another. He uses as an example a panel with an axe-wielding homo chasing another guy and shouting, "Now you lot're going to die!" Then the next panel is the exterior of a building, with only an "Aieeee!!" screaming out. Anyway [see my point, how much extra describing I accept to practise just to get to what he does with similar 2 pictures?], he then says: "To kill a character between panels is to condemn him to a thousand deaths." Meet? Because each reader will make his/her own decision nearly when and how the axe falls, how much blood comes out, how many strikes are needed, the specific choreography of the expiry. Amazing!)

I really appreciate that this volume exists. It's nice that something was created to help people understand the language of comics, what they are, what they tin can exist, what makes them special, then forth.That said, at that place are parts which are a piddling convoluted (Chapter two, I'g looking at you), and there are parts that are a fiddling dated past at present (such every bit the chapter on color, which I call back has come a long manner since the early '90s, particularly due to the utilize of computers). But there are so many parts that articulate things that we equally readers may have never realized we were doing (such as reading between the panels, every bit discussed in Chapter 3).
I recollect McCloud did a great job of including all kinds of comics, from Schultz to Spiegelman to Lee/Kirby to Otomo, without placing more value on one than some other. I also liked the parallels he drew between comics and other fine art forms, although he emphasized visual arts far more than literature, which in some ways makes sense but I feel it neglects the fact that these are comic books. Even in Chapter 6, which was defended to how language and words combine to class comics, I did not notice whatever analysis of how comics stand upwards to other forms of literature. However, in the affiliate defended to the artistic process, I thought what McCloud had to say on the subject was so perfectly universal to all art, including literature.
Overall, definitely an insightful read for anyone who enjoys "juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence."

"Even today, there are those who inquire the question, 'can comics be art?' It is--I'g sorry--a really stupid question! Merely if we must respond it, the answer is yes. Especially if your definition of art is as broad as mine!"
despite all that, it'southward definitely a worthwhile read for comics aficionados. i just wasn't crazy well-nigh information technology.
EDIT: okay, i felt bad so changed my rating to three stars. it really has a lot of interesting stuff in information technology... it was only a combination of his slightly annoying tone, and it being fifteen years one-time, that made me like it less. it'south a skillful read for comics lovers.

What I constitute in the pages of this book is an excellent explanation of what happens to us every bit we read comics, how our mind interprets information and the effect information technology has on our consciousness. I also experience that this book makes an excellent statement to anyone who looks down on comics as "something for kids" or overly "nerdy." McCloud explains that comics are a much more prevalent part of our culture/order than we may immediately recognize, and what ensues is evidence of the medium every bit an fine art form, ripe with theory and rich creativity.
I experience that anyone who has an interest in philosophy/theory, filmmaking, history, painting, photography, or literature/writing should read this book. Information technology's not just for "comic volume nerds" -- it'southward for all who appreciate the arts and perhaps could practise with some more open-mindedness.

Now that I take had a picayune rant near art, let's talk about comics and Understanding Comics past Scott McCloud. This book is a graphical await into comics as an art grade, exploring the history of comics and tries to explain the pregnant behind the fine art. It starts off trying to define what a comic is, which I quickly realised was an impossible feat. McCloud ended saying "Comics are juxtaposed pictorial and other images in a deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or produce an aesthetic response in the viewer" only then went on to explicate how problematic that definition can be.
A highlight for me was institute in chapter two where Scott McCloud explored the vocabulary of comics. The chapter begins with explain René Magritte's painting The Treachery of Images (1928-29), an artist I am a big fan of. I really went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the hope to see The Treachery of Images, but information technology was currently on loan to the Fine art Establish of Chicago. What I liked about this chapter was how he took the meaning of this painting and expanded on it to aid explain comics. He took something easy to explicate and congenital upon that to the more than complex ideas.
Reading Understanding Comics makes comics sound like highbrow pieces of art and perhaps that is how we should view them. Instead of thinking most comics equally a lowbrow medium, it is well-nigh time we feel the art and what information technology tin tell us. In this book six major ideas around the fine art. Idea/purpose, form, idiom/style, structure, craft and surface; explaining how they tin can all work together to make smashing pieces.
In that location is a lot of information within Understanding Comics and I don't retrieve I have explored it all yet. It has equipped me with some new tools when reading and reviewing comics. The best matter nearly this book is the way Scott McCloud changes his fine art fashion and methods to explore the different ways you lot tin can execute the theories behind this book. I am glad he referenced all his piece of work, particularly when talking about other artists and how they write comics. The graphical representation of the fine art theory in the book helped me to understand comics a trivial meliorate but there is merely so much here that I will need to reread this a few times before it sinks in.

This is an indispensable and fundamentally exhaustive exploration of the comics medium presented in the medium itself. While it presents some adequately circuitous ideas of "how comics work" McCloud uses the medium itself to good effect to demonstrate his meaning.I, do however, have to have issue with his strangely vociferous insistence that one panel cartoons are not comics - while I loathe the Family Circus as much equally the next thinking person, I think McCloud is too hung upwardly on the literal need for sequential panels for something to be a comic. In that location is an implied sequence to i-console cartoons - an imagined before and afterwards - that make them piece of work, much in the way that the gutter between panels in more conventional comics imply a connecting action that the reader actively engages with in order to fulfill (and go beyond) the promise of static images. It seems to me that the one-panel cartoon functions exactly in the way that McCloud asserts all comics do, it is just that everything else but that panel is the gutter.

As you may gather from the title, this is less a history of comics (although there is some of that) and more a thesis statement well-nigh what they are and how they piece of work. McCloud is an engaging narrator, although the commencement affiliate is a footling dry. He'southward defining what comics "are", and so that probably can't be helped.As some other reviewers have noted, the technology has advanced since McCloud wrote this in the early 90's (particularly, I'm guessing, when information technology comes to color), but the ideas are all the same contemporary. A few of the things I learned, or what I learned to expect at with new eyes:
--How different types of lines can convey unlike emotional states
--What closure is (how nosotros automatically fill-in the narrative gaps betwixt panels)
--The space between panels, btw, is called "the gutter"
--The different types of transitions between panels, e.grand activity-to-action, aspect-to-aspect, et cetera. McCloud has a great graph selection in chapter three breaking this down. Manga, for case, is very big in the aspect transition.
--Some of the differences between Western and Japanese comics, both in terms of artistic and narrative choices. Try as I might, I can't get into anime or manga, only this was fascinating.
I similar how McCloud sets out to link comics to "college" arts here and seriously, you lot tin can never go wrong with proper name-dropping Kandinsky. I haven't read Eisner's book on the field of study, but I think about comics readers will discover something new hither. I know I'm going to read my latest comic book score with new optics.
On the discipline of being out of engagement, McCloud has written two more recent books on this same subject: Reinventing Comics and Making Comics.

A fabulous and totally unexpected delight. I came to this book after reading McCloud's The Sculptor, so I already knew that he had a firm grip on how to produce an outstanding comic.I thought I was getting an Eisner or Kirby way How-To guide for the craft and business organization of comics writing, and instead was treated to a brilliant treatise on fine art history, human perception, the part of symbols in communication, and how we use art to communicate with one another.
Understanding comics *is* a How-To guide, but the photographic camera is at thirty,000 feet, providing a strategic and conceptual agreement of how comic book art and writing work, and how an artist/writer can position themselves to not only make great fine art on a 1-off ground, only over the class of a career.
It too provides a reader with no aspirations to create with a deep and rich agreement of the medium and its importance in the globe of art and literature. I will never expect at a comic book the same manner once more, and assure you that you won't either.
McCloud has an exhaustive knowledge of comics history and a true and sober appreciation of the importance of the genre. Fifty-fifty if yous're not a comic fan at all, this book will leave you with a meliorate appreciation of fine art and how we use information technology to know we're not alone.

Maybe my favourite insigh
Understanding Comics is a pretty clever book, using the medium of comics to talk seriously about comics -- which is very probable to be dismissed by those who either insist comics should all be fun (and therefore if they're non interested in this, it's no good) or all comics are fun (and therefore have no serious value). That's a mistake. I hadn't heard of this earlier I started the Coursera course I'g doing on comics, just I don't need whatever prompting to take it seriously.Possibly my favourite insight from it is about the idea of closure -- the infinite betwixt panels during which the reader has to figure out what'due south happening -- and how that makes the reader complicit in every act in a comic.
