Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud
Scott McCloud is the creator of 'Zot!' and has been nominated for the Eisner and Harvey awards twelve times. He is also the creator of 'Understanding Comics', the most influential study on comics since Will Eisner's 'Comics and Sequential Art'. What's more, 'Understanding Comics' is a comic itself, so actually it is nicer, easier, more understandable and illustrative than Eisner's classic work. Accessible and intelligent, 'Understanding Comics' stands as the best publication on the medium to date.

In the spring of 2000, Scott McCloud's second book on comics was published: 'Reinventing Comics'. In this equally comprehensive work, he debates the future and possibilities of the comic genre.
