Scott McCloud: Understanding comics

BlacknWhitesAlright Says:

Jun 1, 2010 - @rubbermuck Does Alan Moore really design page layouts for his stories? I was under the impression that he just writes highly detailed descriptive scripts.

Aug 14, 2009 - Actually, then, by Scott McCloud's logic, film is a version of the comic. You have consecutive frames of still images, that, when seen together sequentially, tell a linear story. Now, both media, as they stand today, have limitations as to all that they can tell the viewer, but if both comics and film follow the path that McCloud has depicted here, I believe that they may eventually merge, meld, combine, into a fully realized experience that utilizes all of the human senses.

Aug 11, 2009 - Alan Moore played a lot with panel layouts, especially in Watchmen. It may be true that comic makers are stuck to a certain size of the page and pivotal moments really only happen at the turn of a page(for surprise), I don't know if it's a limitation immediately. It is interesting to follow these computer-comics though. An interesting one I read was "A lesson is learned but the damage is irreversible".

Jun 26, 2009 - "Scott McLEOD is my uncle". yeah, but what does that have to do with scott McCloud?

KidSoupTV Says:

sunrisewalker Says:

May 21, 2009 - Based on my reading of McCleod I don't think that he is trashing the paper page, but encouraging the debate. because when artists contemplate debates like these, they create art to give their answer. And that is where great art in any media comes from- from people looking for answers and grappling with problems.

WarriorAlien Says:

Mar 16, 2009 - I only just recently read Understanding Comics, and while I've never picked up any of McCloud's fiction works like Zot! but it's evident that he truly understands the language of the medium. He seems like a friendly individual here.

autobahnhotel Says:

Feb 11, 2009 - I don't know if I agree with this...why does he feel we need to trash paper pages? That scrolling at the end looked just as inconvineient if not more. Isn't film already the ultimate infinite canvas?

inko9nito Says:

Feb 10, 2009 - Brilliant presentation!

sethnehil Says:

Jan 19, 2009 - McLuhan: "We drive forward looking in the rearview mirror." Habits or forms of previous media and technology shape the new. So the computer monitor was/is treated like a page in a book - when of course it is not.
