Episode 66 - Understanding the Art of Making and Reading Comics

Saturday, April 19th, 2008 - running time 00:24:22

Exploring Scott McCloud's definitive work on understanding how comics are constructed, the practice and procedures, and how to read them.

If you're not entirely clear on how these comic books work, iFanboy has got a show for you. Ron, Josh, and Conor delve into Scott McCloud's seminal work, Understanding Comics, which is far more interesting than it might at first seem. Get a look at McCloud's interesting, yet academic take on what exactly a comic book is, how it works, and why the art form is so effective and unique. You may not have thought you needed to read this book, but you'll be surprised at how much you didn't know about comics.

Then, after he was sure you understood comics, McCloud went on to make Reinventing Comics, and then Making Comics.
