What I'm reading now #2

Posted on 06:44 by Unknown
When I got two recommendations in a month's time to read a book about comics, I couldn't resist. And Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics is about more than comics. It's about communication, graphic and written; about icons; and about the spaces between words and pictures, where yet more communication occurs.

Did I also say it's funny and entertaining? And in the format of a comic book?

P.S., Scott has a new book out, and is writing a blog about his current book tour.
