Reading Making Comics makes you wonder why McCloud would mention his desire to work on a graphic novel. Similar to his last 2 books it is not only an educative but also a really enjoyable read.

I wish I’d had the chance to pick up this book a year ago, back when I first started making comics (no pun intended). It took three months of scrounging message boards and obsolete “making of…” features on cartoonists’ websites to pick on even a quarter of what’s covered in this book. Hopefully Chapter 5 1/2 will prove just as useful.

I am well and truly sure that Making Comics is the best book I’ve read about Making Comics, and I’ve read a lot, including Eisner stuff. I read the whole thing, then put it down, then read it again, more slowly.

Gary —

We’ve talked about this in the past — I think that Understanding Comics should be required reading for anyone doing computer user interface work. On my shelf, it’s right next to Brenda Laurel’s Computers as Theater

Looking forward to getting this one…
