It explores formal aspects of comics, the historical development of the medium, its fundamental vocabulary, and various ways in which these elements have been used.\n\nUnderstanding Comics received praise from notable comic and graphic novel authors such as \u003cstrong\u003eArt Spiegelman, Will Eisner, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e Garry Trudeau\u003c\/strong\u003e (who reviewed the book for the New York Times). Although the book has prompted debate over many of McCloud’s conclusions, its discussions of \"iconic\" art and the concept of \"closure\" between panels have become common reference points in discussions of the medium.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-reactive-container a-reactive-container-transition\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-content a-cardui-uninitialized\" data-a-max-height=\"80\"\u003e\n\nScott McCloud has been writing, drawing, and examining comics since 1984.
