Commentary Toward Books Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels (The Comic Books #3)
"Magnificent! The best how-to manual ever published." — Kevin Kelly, Cool ToolsScott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture in 1993 with Understanding Comics, a massive comic book about comics, linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design. In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. Now, in Making Comics, McCloud focuses his analysis on the art form itself, exploring the creation of comics, from the broadest principles to the sharpest details (like how to accentuate a character's facial muscles in order to form the emotion of disgust rather than the emotion of surprise.) And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand–in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. McCloud shows his reader how to master the human condition through word and image in a brilliantly minimalistic way. Both comic book devotees and the uninitiated will marvel at this journey into a once–underappreciated art form.

Disclaimer: I have not read Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics so I cannot make comparisons to them. As an aspiring cartoonist, I hold this book as an essential guide to the writing and illustration process of graphic novels/comics. In Making Comics, cartoonist and comics theorist Scott McCloud effectively utilizes the graphic novel medium to escort his readers through the various stages of creating a comic as he provides a myriad of excerpts from different works to showcase the diverseThis is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in making comics, or just learning about the theory behind them.Scott McCloud lays out the fundamental building blocks and questions behind creating a comic, and covers them in depth. He eschews questions of technical execution and personal style in favor of theory and design.He covers communication, pacing, framing, and transitions in excellent detail. His chapter on the tools available is more brief, but gives a beginning cartoonist enough
Very thorough and practical!
This book was very helpful. It has helped me understand how to properly make a comic. I feel that in reading this I have a better idea on how to do my Graphic Novel final. It is definitely a good read if you want to learn how to make a proper comic.
Although I was never a huge fan of his retro-esque work on the 80s Zot!, Scott McCloud has become in my eyes the hero of modern comic book structural theory and analysis. And one heck of an effective writer and artist at conveying the hidden truths of this ever-developing medium, I might add. He is neither condescending nor intellectually ambiguous despite his evident braininess.As the author/artist of two earlier ground-breaking works Understanding and Reinventing Comics (both of which I
This is an excellent book for anyone interested in writing comics and wants some tips and tricks to help them on their way. I am personally working on creating my first comic book and though I have had years of art education and lessons in how to draw I have never learned anything about incorporating that into a narrative structure. So this book was exactly what I was looking for.Unlike most books about making your own comic this is not a how to draw book. It is very firm in its view that you
