Description: Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture with Understanding Comics, his ingenuous comic book about comics. Having inspired fans in such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and Web design, McCloud now takes comics to the next level. Reinventing Comics charts 12 different revolutions in how comics are created, read, and perceived. Part one not only explores comics as art and literature, but also delves into the chaotic comics industry as well as public and academic perceptions of comics and the fight for sexual and ethnic diversity. Part two then paints a breathtaking portrait of comics' digital revolutions, including the challenges of digital production, the exploding world of online delivery, and comics' startling transformations as they enter the digital landscape of a new century.
