"This is an exceptional book (in comic format) of ideas presented as a reader-friendly theoretical lecture — and it may just be the blueprint for the very future of the comics industry....[I]mpressive insight and admirable clarity....[B]rilliantly presented discussions....McCloud's arguments are strong, factual...and persuasive." Library Journal
