Rich Origins and Broad Horizons

In Understanding Comics McCloud explores the extensive and diverse history of the modern comic strip, as well as the current social perceptions of comic books. He attempts to change some biases against comic culture by validating the well-established style of "sequential art" throughout art history and the archeology thereof. My thoughts on this are very positive, because now my obsession with this artform is somewhat validated! :P Anyway, McClouds personality and abstract way of describing his points of interest were successful in reaching and interacting with my sporatic brain waves.. so, in short, "well done".
