Description

The authors use a single three-panel Nancy strip to provide an explanation for how the medium of comics works.

Everything that you wish to have to know about reading, making, and understanding comics may also be found in a single Nancy strip by Ernie Bushmiller from August 8, 1959. Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden’s groundbreaking work How to Read Nancy ingeniously isolates the separate building blocks of the language of comics through the deconstruction of a single strip. No other book on comics has taken any such simple yet methodical approach to laying bare how the comics medium truly works. No other book of any kind has taken a single work by any artist and minutely (and entertainingly) pulled it apart like this. How to Read Nancy is a fully new approach towards deep-reading art. As well as, How to Read Nancy is a thoroughly researched history of how comics are made, from their creation at the planning stage to their ultimate destination at the bookstore. Textbook, art book, monogram, dissection, How to Read Nancy is a game changer in understanding how the “simplest” drawings snatch us and never leave. Perfect for students, academics, scholars, and casual fans. Black-and-white Nancy cartoons all over
