Mccloud Scott - Making Comics Storytelling Secrets Of Comics Manga And Graphic Novels - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: " Magnificent! The best how - to manual ever published." Kevin Kelly Cool Tools The renowned author of Understanding Comics offers brilliant instruction on how to actually create this widely beloved art form. Scott Mc Cloud 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 Mc Cloud took this to the next level charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated read and perceived today. Now in Making Comics Mc Cloud 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. Mc Cloud 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.
