Product Description

Synopsis

Available in English for the first time, this groundbreaking volume examines the subtle, complex workings of the comic medium and its unique way of combining visual, verbal, spatial, and chronological expressions. Written by one of the medium's foremost scholars, it explores the works of 19th century pioneer Rodolphe Topffer, contemporary Japanese creators, and the modern American trend in autobiographical comics.Drawing on examples from around the world, including the USA, England, Japan, France, and Argentina, "The System of Comics" describes and analyses the properties and functions of speech and thought balloons, panels, strips, and pages to present an insightful examination of the medium's fundamental processes.By emphasizing not only the 'storytelling techniques' but also the meanings behind the stories and the reader's engagement, this superb volume presents a wealth of ideas that will change the way we think about comics forever.
