## Description

"Magnificent! The best how-to manual ever published." — Kevin Kelly, Cool ToolsThe renowned author of Understanding Comics offers brilliant instruction on how to actually create this widely beloved art form.Scott 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by C***N on 28 February 2023*

a lot of depth and study gone into cartoning, excellent book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive guide - highly recommended!
*by �***� on 1 July 2018*

I bought this as a gift for my sister, who is a prolific and talented (entirely self taught) illustrator looking to refine her technique. Incidentally, the book had also been recommended to her by a very senior design professional. She absolutely loved the book - she found it very useful. It is also beautifully drawn. The guide is comprehensive and would be great even for a novice. My fear with buying books online is paper quality. This book is more than satisfactory on that count! Cover as well as inside paper, printing - all great quality!
