The Intertext series has been specifically designed to meet the needs of contemporary English Language Studies. Working with Texts: A core introduction to language analysis (second edition, 2001) is the foundation text, which is complemented by a range of 'satellite' titles. These provide students with hands-on practical experience of textual analysis through special topics and can be used individually or in conjunction with Working with Texts. The Language of Comics:
*includes a large number of real comics, from individual frames to full comic strips *provides a history of comics from the end of the nineteenth century to the present *explores the "semiotics of comics," from the interaction between the verbal and the visual and how texts interrelate to the way speech and thought are reported in narrative and point of view *makes the case for comics as multimodal texts and considers future developments in the genre *is user-friendly and accessible, and provides a full glossary.
With a special wink to all comic lovers on ET - stovokor ;P
McCloud, in an incredibly
accessible style, explains the details of how comics work: how they're
composed, read and understood. More than just a book about comics, this gets to
the heart of how we deal with visual languages in general. "The potential
of comics is limitless and exciting!" writes McCloud. This should be
required reading for every school teacher. Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Spiegelman
says, "The most intelligent comic I've seen in a long time."
Will Eisner
"A landmark dissection and intellectual consideration of comics as a valid
medium."
James Gurney, Dinotopia
"McCloud is the McLuhan of comics."
