I think I was expecting something closer to the Scott McCloud book (which was really good) or more of a book form of every frame a painting youtube channel. but this was a page of an idea then a miniature form of a comic showing the idea in action, no notes on the side or summary or anything. so cool in that it is an author showing he really understands how comics and graphics work together sometimes leaning more to one side then the other (a mix of narration thrown in) but not a good teaching book.

Agradezco inmensamente a Will Eisner por haber creado este libro.

La verdad, para alguien como yo que sólo contaba con teorías e hipótesis sobre lo que es la narrativa visual y "graphic storytelling" este libro me ayudó no sólo a darme cuenta de que tenía una idea, sino también a expandir mis conocimientos.

Simplemente amo el libro, y sus ejemplos me fueron de mucha ayuda :)

It's a bit dated, but it's a great introduction to the storytelling involved in graphic novels and other forms of visual narrative. The examples are helpful and I love the way the text is interspersed with an illustrated story using cavemen to discuss storytelling. I found myself think over the things Eisner said about storytelling and how the mind views comic, print, and film.

A must buy for me.

It's a good book, but in some ways a bit dated. Would be comic writers should read this at least once.
