5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-14-2009; Now I understand; So much is communicated in every comic image that is entirely below most viewer's understanding. This book is eye-opening!

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-02-2009; A classic.; This book not only helped legitimize a misunderstood art form for a new generation, it also changed my perception on how I philosophically view the world.

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Apr-24-2008; Erudite, But Not Interesting; Understanding Comics is a very, very deep dive into the history, meaning and creative processes involved in creating comics. The author, Scott McCloud, has clearly studied his topic. You will not walk away from reading this book without...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-13-2008; perhaps the most repetitive book ever; I was required to read this book for a college art class, and hated it. I'm not a comic book fan, but I also don't detest them either. I found the book to be mildly interesting, but just way too reptitive. The author goes on and on about...; read full review | report as inappropriate
