MAKING COMICS TP

More than a decade ago, Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and pop culture with Understanding Comics — a monumental comic about comics that connected the medium to fields like media theory, film criticism, and web design. In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took fans to the next level, mapping twelve different revolutions in how comics are now produced, read, and perceived.

Now, in Making Comics, McCloud turns his eye to the art form itself and explores the creation of comics — from the broadest principles to the smallest artistic details. In a tone that combines dry humor with clear, concise instruction, McCloud's drawn narrator shows how to capture and convey the human experience through word and image in brilliantly minimalist ways.

Both die-hard comic lovers and complete newcomers will follow this journey into a once-underrated art form with wonder.
