Understanding Comics, and its follow-ups Reinventing Comics and Making Comics, are a critically acclaimed non-fiction comic book series by Scott McCloud. More than that, Understanding Comics is a nine-part comic book about comics.Essentially an essay about comics as a medium and the industry itself, the books are among the first that seriously analyzed comics in their own right. It has since become a common academic resource, being included in compilations like the Norton Reader despite its non-traditional style.It was one of the first books to define the notion of "closure" or, rather, what happens between panels. That just as a reader's mind must fill in details when reading a book, so too must they fill in the blank space between panels. (exhibit A: Panel 1- Angry man raises axe while someone in front of him shouts NO! Panel 2- Loud, wet scream from a building in a very long shot. Implication: Someone got killed, and the reader has mentally created the way in which it happened.)The book's discussion on Icons is also a contributor to modern views on comics; that something or someone drawn in a simpler style makes them easier to identify with. See No Cartoon Fish.Another recurring theme is the "dichotomy" of words and pictures. Comics are a unique medium because the words and pictures needn't always go in the same direction, and that each one serves different, but not unique, tasks of telling a story.For a similar book that likewise dissects the language of comics, see How to Read Nancy. | |

True Art | |
| Understanding Comics (Comic Book) / int_12e32c70 | comment |
True Art: invoked McCloud attempts to circumvent the subjectivity of questions such as "What is art?" by proposing an extremely broad definition of art: "Any human activity which doesn't grow out of either survival or reproduction." | |

Sliding Scale of Visuals Versus Dialogue | |
| Understanding Comics (Comic Book) / int_1317c2e1 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Visuals Versus Dialogue: A major theme is how comic creators use words to complement or comment on pictures. Scott McCloud mentions that the extent to which words impact the pictures varies. He sees written words as a later "evolution" of pictures, and places both on his own sliding scale, the famous "Big Triangle," which is both big and a triangle. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Understanding Comics (Comic Book) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: He warns against having too many samey character designs. The example he uses? A bunch of identical guys all yelling, "I Am Spartacus," of course! On the other hand, a simplistic art style as a deliberate choice helps the process of abstraction and, in the case of characters, makes their emotions easier to read and easier to empathize with. | |

Opaque Nerd Glasses: Scott's self-depiction is drawn in a simplified style such that his glasses appear to have blank white lenses. Lampshaded (to prove a point) when he takes them off and he has no eyes. | |

Infinite Canvas | |
| Understanding Comics (Comic Book) / int_20c309b1 | comment |
Infinite Canvas: First proposed in Reinventing Comics as a stylistic choice unique to webcomics. McCloud has produced Infinite Canvas-style comics himself on his website. However, the vast majority of webcomics avoid doing this, because most of their authors want their work to be eventually published in physical books. | |

Obviously Not Fine: In Making Comics, in the chapter on expressions, the author mentions in one panel that readers will notice small changes of expression in comics characters. He shows a hypothetical scene where a girl snidely asks another girl if she's okay. The other girl, who clearly looks exhausted or depressed, and isn't making eye contact with the first girl, says "Yeah, I'm fine." | |

| Understanding Comics (Comic Book) / int_4b44e74b | comment |
Mukokuseki: While he doesn't mention it by name or even in the context of manga per se, Scott does give his insight into what he thinks is the operating principle behind this trope: When a person's image is presented in an iconic, abstract fashion, it encourages the reader to identify with that character and see part of themselves in him or her. | |

Older Than They Think | |
| Understanding Comics (Comic Book) / int_5be7bcfa | comment |
Older Than They Think (In-Universe): In Understanding Comics, Scott challenges the view that comics are merely Older Than Radio—he defines comics as a series of juxtaposed images to be read in sequence—and makes a case for things like William Hogarth's serial paintings, a 16th-century Central American manuscript, the Twelfth-Century Bayeux Tapestry, and name-drops the Second-Century Trajan's column. He even gives an example of Egyptian tomb paintings, making comics Older Than Dirt! | |

True Art Is Incomprehensible: In-Universe. One part of the book discusses an entertaining aversion to demonstrate the importance of context: An enormous square of canvas with two tiny right triangles at the center of the top and bottom edges. Its name? The Big N, which is in fact precisely what the painting is. | |

Unmoving Plaid: Scott McCloud’s Author Avatar wears this on his jacket. In the first two books, the size of the boxes never change no matter how big McCloud is drawn. Nothing about them does. This changes in Making, and the boxes are also seen being stretched and squished in proportion to him at one point. There's even a panel demonstrating perspective where the boxes on his sleeves change directions to accommodate his arms. | |

The Treachery of Images: Takes this to a thought-provoking Overly-Long Gag to demonstrate just how much the reader of a comic is mentally filling in. Not only is it not a pipe, it's not even a painting of a pipe. Is it a drawing of a painting of a pipe? No, actually it's not even that — it's a printed copy of a drawing of a painting of a pipe. In fact, it's several printed copies, appearing in multiple panels, each one dependent on the reader to observe. | |
