I have never been on the edge of my seat reading a textbook before reading Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. Each page deepened my knowledge and respect for the medium of comics, something I had loved for years prior, but never had the vocabulary to adequately discuss and critique. I have cited this text on numerous essays, and I feel it is an essential work for any student, teacher, or fan of the art form. It is also a really fun read!
