About this deal

Understanding Comics won multiple Harvey Awards in 1994 for Best Graphic Album/Original Material [12] and Best Biographical, Historical or Journalistic Presentation. [12] In addition, McCloud won the 1994 Harvey Award for Best Writer. [12] this is not only a testament to the validity of comics as an artform and mccloud's mastery of it, but also to the microscopic differences between the various supposedly discreet arts and vocabularies thereof when viewed from the vantage of a close and sensitive read of any one of them in particular. In-Universe. The chapter on color mentions how a superhero's color scheme becomes inextricably linked with the character in the reader's mind.

One of David’s night sculptures, above, is a case in point. When I included it among his many crazy bits of urban vandalism, it was just a jab at a rich demented celebrity with just a little power. Obviously, that power multiplied considerably this year. Now, the thing looks purely political but it really wasn’t so much at the time. Making Comics was nominated for the 2007 Harvey Award for Best Biographical, Historical or Journalistic Presentation. [4] It was named the Favourite Comics-Related Book at the 2007 Eagle Awards. In addition, it was a 2007 Quill Award-winner for Best Graphic Novel. True Art Is Incomprehensible: One part of the book discusses an entertaining aversion to demonstrate the importance of context: An enormous square of canvas with two tiny right triangles at the center of the top and bottom edges. Its name? The Big N, which is in fact precisely what the painting is.

Scott McCloud's love and understanding of comics is beautifully and simply expressed here. So much so that it increased my love and understanding of comics I read in the past and definitely comics I will read in the future. For a while now, I’ve been working on my not-so-secret project: a big nonfiction comic about visual communication across disciplines. The Sculptor drops February 3 and we’re hitting the ground running with the official First Second U.S. Tour of 14 cities in 16 days, followed by six additional European tours in support of our foreign editions, plus presentations in at least four additional American cities; all in just three months (February, March, and April). Understanding Comics was parodied by Dylan Sisson in his Filibusting Comics: The Next Chapter, published by Fantagraphics in 1995, and later translated into Spanish. [16]As some of you know, I’ve been working diligently on a big fat book about visual communication. It’s turned into an unusually complex project and it’s taking a long time, so thank you for your patience.

McCloud drew Making Comics digitally on a Cintiq monitor. He was dealing with tendinitis in his hands during the early production of the book, and McCloud found that the monitor worked very comfortably, as it allowed him to draw with his forearm rather than with his wrist.

In addition, it was nominated for that year's Angoulême International Comics Festival Prize for Best Album. it's one of the best examples i've found of someone writing so specifically about a topic that the observations and implications become absolutely universal.
