Comics and Sequential Art

Will Eisner is a legend in the field of comics. In Comics & Sequential Art, he distills the art of graphic storytelling into clear, concise principles that every cartoonist, comic artist, writer and filmmaker needs to know. Based on Eisner's popular course at New York's School of Visual Art, Comics & Sequential Art examines his ideas, advice and theories on the practice of graphic storytelling and the uses to which the comic book art form can be applied. Designed for use by both professional and amateur artists, students, teachers and even fans, anyone with an interest in, or devotion to, the comic book form will benefit. Since its initial publication, Comics & Sequential Art has enjoyed a welcome reception throughout the world. It is employed in film classes as well as popular culture and English Literature courses at many universities.
