I picked it up thinking it was kind of silly, but by the end - and I read it on one sitting - I thought it was one of the best books ever written - or indeed drawn!      source

@99piorg @scottmccloud Understanding Comics is one of the most fascinating and clear works of criticism I’ve ever read. It is such an amazing book. I think about it all the time. And a seventh grader could grasp it without trouble.      source
