This is a rare and exciting work that ingeniously uses comics to examine the medium itself. McCloud (who wrote a comic-book series called Zot! ) conducts a genial, well-researched and funny tour of virtually every historical and perceptual aspect of comics, which he calls ``sequential art,'' that is, art that consists of sequences of words and pictures. Beginning in the 11th century with the Bayeux tapestry, he examines pre-Columbian picture languages and the printing press, presenting a quick survey of the historical development of early sequential pictures into the specialized visual language of comics. But it's McCloud's accessible and quite amusing discussion of realism, abstraction and visual perception that forms the heart of this survey. He dissects the vocabulary of the medium, cheerfully analyzing the psychological power of comics and their central role in our ultra-visual culture. McCloud attempts to place comics within the tradition of serious western art. His black-and-white drawings are a delight, ranging from simplified cartoons to parodies of classic comics and fine art, all the while manifesting every theory and comics trend discussed.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
At first thought, a volume devoted to understanding comics may seem unnecessary. After all, it's the medium's very simplicity that makes it so attractive to children--and that has prevented it from being taken seriously by adults. But McCloud reveals the form's hidden intricacies in his ground-breaking guide, and he does so entirely in comics format. His cartoon version traces the 3,000-year history (from Egyptian paintings on) of telling stories through pictures; describes the language of comics--its "grammar" and "vocabulary"; explains the use of different types of images ranging from ironic to realistic; depicts how artists convey movement and the passage of time and use various symbols as shorthand; and demonstrates the expressive emotional qualities of different drawing styles. Particularly interesting is McCloud's explanation of how the form evolved in isolation in Japan, developing its own distinct visual language. McCloud's success at conveying all of this in comics format is in itself a strong argument for the medium's effectiveness and supports his view of comics as not "a genre of writing or a style of graphic art, but something entirely distinct." His entertaining work, illuminating for fans of comics, is absolutely essential for anyone who wants to draw them. ~--Gordon Flagg
