desertcart.co.jp: Understanding Comics: A Comprehensive Guide to the Art and Craft of Comics, Exploring Visual Storytelling : McCloud, Scott: Foreign Language Books

Review: One of the best books on comics you're likely to find - Scott McCloud knows comics better than anyone out there. If you're interested in comics at all, it's worth your time to read this book. It's a quick read, but you'll never look at comics the same way again.
Review: ある英語のまんがの書き方の本を読んでいたら、この本を非常にほめていたので読んでみました。 個人的には、作者のまんがのスタイルが性に合わないせいか、読むのが苦痛でした。絵が雑というのか下手というのか、とっつきにくいんですね。また、端的に表現がされていないので、わかりにくく、たかだか、まんがで200ページなのに、読んでどっと疲れただけ。 なんで、こんな本がまんがの書き方の本の中で高く評価されていたのか、正直、疑問。 具体的には、まず、まんがの書き方の本ではありません。まんがのコマ割り、セリフの吹き出し、などなどの意図は説明されてはいますが。 裏表紙の分類を見ると、なんとArt history。 日本のまんがのことにも触れてあって、その意味では面白いかもしれませんが、分類通り、まんがの歴史に興味がない人が読むとつまらない本です。

*by O***A on February 12, 2025*

Scott's comic tutorial series is a classic and must be recommended to those around me interested in comics and animation. Really a lot of the rules and tutorials can be applied to storyboarding or just general art techniques.
