Understanding Comics

Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art is a 215-page non-fiction graphic novel by Scott McCloud that is widely considered one of the definitive texts on the theory of comics (also known as sequential art) as an artform and a communications medium. The lettering was done by Bob Lappan.

It was published in 1993 by Paradox Press, a division of DC Comics.

The book received praise from notable comic book and graphic novel authors such as Art Spiegelman, Will Eisner, and Matt Groening, and was called "one of the most insightful books about designing graphic user interfaces ever written" by Apple Macintosh co-creator Andy Hertzfeld.
