In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. Now, in Making Comics, McCloud focuses his analysis on the art form itself, exploring the creation of comics, from the broadest principles to the sharpest details (like how to accentuate a character's facial muscles in order to form the emotion of disgust rather than the emotion of surprise.) And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand–in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. McCloud shows his reader how to master the human condition through word and image in a brilliantly minimalistic way. Comic book devotees as well as the most uninitiated will marvel at this journey into a once–underappreciated art form.

Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding what to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier! This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous, street-level portrait of the world's greatest city. It's about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life.and the great surging forces that lie just under the surface.

For a while now, I’ve been working on my not-so-secret project: a big nonfiction comic about visual communication across disciplines. This blog will continue to be pretty quiet while I toil away at the book, but bits and pieces have been showing up in as well. If you manage to catch me on the road anytime in the next year or two, you’re bound to see evidence of this particular obsession. Visual communication and education have been a long-standing fascination of mine.
Nonfiction comics artists, data journalists, educational animators, visual facilitators, signage & wayfinding experts, visual presenters, even those who study facial expressions and body language; they’re all engaged in the struggle to better understand how we learn through seeing. But they’re too often knocking on the same door; trying to reinvent the wheel; unknowingly stumbling upon the same principles as their distant colleagues. I’m hoping that I can articulate some of those common principles and help stitch together those disparate fields in a useful way.
I don’t have a title yet, but I often describe it as “an Elements of Style for visual communication.” Update: possibly a mistake, according to who directed my attention to. I’m hoping it won’t run quite as long as. Right now, I’m doing research enough for a very long book, but I’m hoping to apply it toward writing a short one. Anyway, don’t expect a lot of blog updates for a while. For more frequent chatter on various topics (including politics—sorry!), but when the book is finally ready, I’ll certainly post about it in both places.
When I finished the script and layouts for a few years back, there were parts of the story that meant one thing at the time, but would change meaning by the time it was published; and keep changing meaning in one case. One of David’s night sculptures, above, is a case in point.
When I included it among, it was just a jab at a rich demented celebrity with just a little power. Obviously, that power multiplied considerably this year. Now, the thing looks purely political but it really wasn’t so much at the time. Another was where David and Meg are walking down 5th Avenue and see several naked women on the steps of St. Patricks Cathedral, engaged in some kind of protest.
David’s explanation: “Somebody must have said something in Rome again,” which made perfect sense with the hyper-conservative Pope Benedict, but seems almost to have the reverse meaning with his successor; as if the new Pope might’ve somehow encouraged it! Finally, there was about Ukraine, written before the Russian annexation of Crimea. It still makes sense, but the meaning definitely got way darker. Note the spelling error in panel 5; caught before it went to press, I’m happy to say. Any book is bound to change meaning over time, usually after they’re published.
But I guess a little in-process change is inevitable when you’re as slow as I am! On Saturday, May 21, I’ll be joining Ryan Germick onstage at the music and technology festival for a conversation. It’s a just a quick stop on the way home from Atlanta’s, but it sounded like fun and I always enjoy speaking with Ryan.
No big deal, except for one thing: Moogfest is in Durham, North Carolina. North Carolina recently passed, widely and rightly condemned for its treatment of transgender people. An encouragingly long list of corporations, performers, and other public figures have called out North Carolina for what they felt was a hateful and ignorant law—’cause it is—and a number of boycotts followed. The musicians and other creative types involved with Moogfest, though, have decided to stay and protest.
So barring any change of plans by that community, it looks like I’ll be there with them. I don’t know if my voice will make much difference (I’m not a headliner or anything, just a small fish in that extremely cool pond) but I’ll add my voice to theirs as best I can. One of my most important early musical experiences, when I was still in elementary school, was listening to the electronic music of the artist then known as “Walter” Carlos. I used to sit in my father’s big easy chair, between the speakers, and slow down Carlos’ Baroque albums to half speed and listen to each and every note as if transcribing a conversation. I was fascinated by that musical landscape, and by later original compositions on A Clockwork Orange and other recordings. Moogfest is named for, late father of the Moog synthesizer, which was used on those recordings.
He was a good friend of Walter so far as I know, and a good friend still when Walter became Wendy; one of the first public figures to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Is a Trans icon today; a musical pioneer but also a social one. She helped usher in the future on two fronts. In that spirit, I’m glad to see Moogfest doing what they can to oppose those who want to drag society back into the past. Here’s the MoogFest opposing HB2. Is around the corner!
I’m a this year so the whole family is coming down to sunny San Diego once again. Winter was born immediately following Con in 1995. She pointed out the other day that she’d been to every single day of Con held during her lifetime. So Wednesday’s Preview Night is a must, to say the least SIGNINGS AND PANELS: Thursday, July 9. 1:30pm – 2:30pm Led by First Second editorial director Mark Siegel, four cartoonists take a close look at their own work and each other’s, looking in depth at the text and art in a single page of comics, and what’s hidden under the surface: panel structure, emotional complexity, and creative influences. With Scott McCloud ( The Sculptor), Rafael Rosado ( Dragons Beware!), Aron Steinke ( The Zoo Box), and Gene Luen Yang ( Secret Coders).
Room 4 Thursday, July 9. 2:30pm – 3:30pm Panelists Scott McCloud ( Understanding Comics), Michael Uslan ( Batman v.
Superman: Dawn of Justice), Trina Robbins ( Pretty in Ink: American Women Cartoonists 1896-2013), Karen Green (Columbia University), Jared Gardner (Ohio State University), and moderator Danny Fingeroth ( Disguised as Clark Kent: Jews, Comics and the Creation of the Superhero) discuss the two major phases of Will Eisner’s career. Beginning with the 1940 creation of his iconic character the Spirit, used by Eisner to tell stories of sophistication and depth, the discussion will then shift to his 1970s reinvention of comics, catalyzing the literary comics movement with A Contract with God, the first of many graphic novels he’d create. Room 26AB ———————- Friday, July 10. 10:00am – 11:00am Text and images-the combination of these two is what makes a comic. But how do you move beyond that simple fusion to create a true story, with characters, plot, and narrative depth? Renowned, best-selling authors Scott McCloud ( The Sculptor) and Gene Luen Yang ( Secret Coders) discuss what goes on behind the scenes when telling stories in graphic novel form, as well as the creative development of McCloud’s bestselling graphic novel The Sculptor.

Larry Marder always said it’s the “gathering of the tribes” and so it is. And the gathering is bigger than ever. Okay, next up! I’ve updated the sidebar at right with details about our national and international travel in the next couple of months.
Some of the mini-tours overseas are still waiting on specifics, but I’ll add details to the sidebar as they come in. Meanwhile, here’s a summary in plain English.
First it’s and Germany (details soon). Then I fly home for on March 16, while Ivy heads back to the U.K. To cool her heels. Next, we rendezvous in Paris for as well as stops in Lyon and in Brussels. From there we head back to the States, and drive to three schools to perform the visual lecture:, and Rutgers University Camden (details TBA).
Then, I’ll be a special guest at the in New York before we fly to the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy. THAT is all in March and April. But then, with May comes the, and in July, —special guests at both. Hope you can make at least one, they’re great shows! That’s our crazy 2015 so far.
Let’s see how much crazier it will be by the time it’s done. And remember to if you’d like the big visual lecture to come to your school or organization. Download jumper 2008 full movie.

Meanwhile, plans are heating up fast for summer, fall, and winter, with major convention announcements in the offing and even more appearances springing up around the world. Most of our official publisher-sponsored tour stops (see above and at right) will be conversational, improvised events with some visuals included, focused on my graphic novel. Meanwhile I’m also scheduling throughout the year. That one is the huge fast-moving presentation on comics and visual communication which will be steadily evolving all year (I’ve developed a special interest in some of the broader issues of visual education, but more on that later).
If your school or other organization would like to get info on THAT opportunity, feel free to. Regardless of where it happens, let’s meet soon. We have A LOT to talk about! Above: Ivy and a Shanghai skyline from last month's two-week trip to China 2014 was the year that I finally finished my giant graphic novel after five years in hibernation, but even though the book was completely out of my hands by June, the rest of the year has been a weird limbo-like waiting game, since the thing doesn’t actually hit the shelves until February 3. Still, my idea of “limbo” (like my idea of “hibernation”) isn’t entirely normal. To outward appearances, I’ve actually been quite active. Here’s a quick rundown of some of our 2014 adventures, in roughly chronological order.
January: Flying to Tennessee to meet the 36 students I’d be teaching at in Clarksville from late February through the beginning of May. I’m joined by fellow teacher Kell Black, set to teach the first half of the class while I head back to California to frantically work on both The Sculptor and my edition of (with series editor ). Meanwhile, we frantically start putting all our worldly possessions in boxes in preparation for a move. Sky and Winter head back north to UC Santa Cruz and San Francisco State respectively. February: “The busiest month of our lives” held that title for only two months since May was probably busier, but it was an impressive month just the same. First, we continued packing like crazy. Next, I flew to Amsterdam for an.
Then back to Southern California, arriving at the apartment at 2:30 am to get ready for the movers who would be arriving at 8:00 am (Surprise—they were early, haha). 90% of our stuff goes into storage, and we drop a bed at Ivy’s parents’ house. Then, we drive up the coast to for two lectures and about ten class visits, then back “home” to pack the little stuff that we can move ourselves, then fly to Orlando for the and a side trip to Disney World. Ivy flies home to finish getting the apartment cleaned despite feeling sick as a dog, and I fly to Tennessee to teach my first classes, plus a public lecture, while taking up residence at a local La Quinta.
March: I teach my class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A massive snowstorm and spring break gives me space to really concentrate on the book and I finally finish principal art on The Sculptor. At this point, all that’s left is corrections—oh, and completely restructuring and rewriting the first 50 pages or so, because I didn’t think they were good enough anymore. Ivy and our neurotic rescue dog Bucky join me and we have lots of magnificent, fattening local food. We’re also joined by, who I’ve invited to give a guest lecture during my residency. Bucky growls at Pen every time he gets in the car, but Pen vows to pet the dog before he leaves, and this he does without incident on the last day.
Bucky is all growl no bite as Pen suspected. April: My students continue to be delightful, curious, funny, and attentive. We do a ton of lectures, exercises, and critiques, and they brilliantly dissect during a book club segment, teaching me things even I didn’t know about the book. We have two more guest speakers:, head of the (and a former one-time student of mine at a one-week workshop at 12 years prior—as was Pen Ward), and all-ages comics superstar and friend. We also take a side trip to Philadelphia to teach a weekend workshop and lecture.
May: Ivy and I bid a fond farewell to Kell and my students in Clarksville and begin our drive home to Southern California (starting with a three-hour drive in the wrong direction to visit an awesome family in Knoxville, but that’s another story). On the way home, I’m still unpacking my and at every hotel as I put the finishing touches on the corrected final art for The Sculptor. Or maybe it was the cover?
There were a lot of different finish lines to cross. Anyway, we get home, drop off Bucky, then drive north to San Francisco where I’m keynoting a Google conference in a San Francisco Marriott (with no url apparently, ’cause it was internal), then we park the car in San Jose, fly to Manhattan, I deliver a lecture at, then the very next day for New York-based IxDA members. Then we fly back to San Jose, hop in the car, drive to Houston for a lecture at the, as well as a panel at a local convention featuring artist and me in conversation, then a drive to Atlanta where I deliver yet another lecture, this time for the good folks. We’re joined by Winter, who’s out of school now, get some awesome MailChimp swag, then borrow their Pantone swatch book (a favor for which I will be eternally grateful), select the all-important second color for the book, and drive home by way of the Grand Canyon, which I get to experience for the first time (it was big and impressive and I want to go back). June: Back home and in the studio. Send out the final final final final final final files for The Sculptor and go over proofreading, pagination stuff, etc. Otherwise, enjoy some much needed rest.
July: Great panel with, and a last-minute panel about my graphic novel that won’t be out for a million years at that point. August: I teach my annual in Los Angeles. Most of the rest of the month is spent sitting around feeling frustrated that my book won’t be out for a million years. September: Ivy, Winter and I attend, a conference at Berkeley, as research for my next book on the subject of visual communication. Winter heads back to school, I fly cross-country for a lecture at, then back home, then Ivy and I drive to San Diego again, this time for an event at their gorgeous new library, co-sponsored by, where Larry Marder, Charles Brownstein and I discuss.
October: Off to the in Palencia, Spain for a lecture, a three-day workshop, and lots of great food and adventures with new and old friends. Then, only a few days later, Best American Comics 2014 hits the shelves, and we fly (inappropriately enough) to, where we have even more wonderful adventures, and meet even more new and old friends. Flying back to LAX, we check into a hotel in Los Angeles, and meet professor Henry Jenkins for an. November: Home for a week, then it’s back on the road. Ivy and I drive to for a lecture, then Kansas City Missouri for lectures at and headquarters respectively. Then we park the car at Kansas City airport, fly to Los Angeles for just one day (gotta do laundry sometime!) and off to Shanghai.
Our trip to China lasts for two weeks, and includes four different international schools with lectures and class visits for over a thousand kids. After that, we fly back to LA and return to Kansas City to fetch the car, driving west once again. December: Ivy and I swing by, a brand-new show that everybody enjoyed tremendously. Then, a few days later, it’s off to Santiago, Chile for a and more great food (most of it Peruvian, admittedly) and new friends, then back home for the last time this year. Then Hanukkah, Christmas, Ivy’s birthday, and here we are. Happy New Year! Charmed this morning by, a collaboration between Italian writer/artist Lorenzo Ghetti of and German web designer.
After all these years, I guess we’re still in the early stages of test-driving different navigational modes for webcomics. I like how this one plays with different modes from chapter to chapter. Probably confusing for new viewers, but the thing feels so crisp and user friendly, and the storytelling is so sharp, I could see readers staying on board for the long haul.
I took a really long break from webcomics to work on The Book. Fun stuff like this makes me want to dive back in.
