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 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.

Chase did not have a good day at school. Nothing seemed to go his way. The teacher asked him to be quiet three times during reading. He splashed in the water instead of washing his hands. And no one invited him to play at recess.
Chase was sad when his mom picked him up from school. He told her all the things that had gone wrong. But then she asked him to remember the good that happened, and she reminded him each day is a new day to make good choices.
This picture book for children demonstrates the power of positive thinking as one mom encourages her son to see the world through a different lens.
