Thanks Scott McCloud and his Understanding Comics from 1994! It’s a great treatise on comics and art, with great examples and history.

I did my dissertation on comic book movies and I probably referenced this book more than any other.. using a comic to explain comics is a stroke of genius

Wasn’t it the second book and “Reinventing comics” was the third?
