	NHI: Sequential Art, Comics, Comix, Manga
		The art teacher is a radical Anarchist and the English teacher keeps rearranging the furniture to improve the school's feng-shui.
		So I decided to do a comic with minimal dialogue, all written in an unintelligible invented alphabet.This was originally printed in SAS #1.
		The art is rushed and there isn't much of a story due to the time constraints.

	Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comics (or, less commonly, sequential art) is a form of visual art consisting of images which are commonly combined with text, often in the form of speech balloons or image captions.
		Whilst almost all comics art is in some sense abbreviated, and also whilst every artist who has produced comics work brings their own individual approach to bear, some broader art styles have been identified.
		Comics, as sequential art, emphasise the pictorial representation of a narrative.

	Alan Moore and the Graphic Novel: Confronting the Fourth Dimension
		Though comic books and graphic novels are earning more serious academic consideration than ever, in relation to one of the foremost goals of twentieth century art and literature, comic books may be more important and innovative than even the most open-minded of scholars have yet to realize.
		Comics, graphic novels, and sequential art belong to a rich artistic and literary tradition due in no small part to their ability to utilize the techniques of cubism and futurism.
		Though he recently announced his retirement from comics, it is hard to conceive of any future works of his not creating the "continuous present," as comics and graphic novels so perfectly do, proving their unmitigated success as the one unmitigated twentieth century art form to bridge the fourth dimension.

	What is Original Comic Art?
		To start with a simple description, comic art consists of the original art that is created in the process of developing a comic book, made available to collectors in the form of the pages that were reproduced to create the book.
		Traditionally, comic art is created in a multi-step process that consists primarily of a penciller and an inker, although a letterer and a colorist may also contribute.
		The color portion of the art is shot directly from the bluelines and overlaid during the printing process with the fl line art.

	SpiderFan.org - Comics : Reviews : Understanding Comics
		In the 80's, pioneer comic artist Will Eisner produced his landmark work "Sequential Art", which for the first time in the history of the medium performed an analysis of how comics, graphic novels, and other forms of sequential art actually operated.
		"Sequential Art" and "Understanding Comics" are, with very little argument, the two most important works to date in the study of the comics medium.
		Where "Sequential Art" gave me respect for comics, "Understanding Comics" elevated that respect to the point where I believe that the comic book form is in every way the equal of it's peers - Fine Art, and Literature.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Medium of Comics - or Sequential art
		Comics feature superheroes or furry talking animals, therefore they are childish and beneath other forms of art or literature.The truth is that comics are one of the most potent and direct mediums available.
		Will Eisner, one of the greatest comic writer/artists of all, coined the phrase 'sequential art' as a more fitting title for the medium, the word comics having come into common usage because of the funny pages of newspapers early in the century.
		The moment that people realise that comics, or sequential art, is actually a valid medium with a lot to offer, we may be able to get away from the superhero and cartoon animal genres that dominate the medium at the moment.

	Inlibris Bookstore - Comics & Sequential Art by Will Eisner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Eisner's work is the first true academic examination of sequential art and its potential as a medium, and was written at a time when the big revolution in comics - which he himself helped agitate more than fifteen years before - was just reaching its crucial stages.
		Aside from giving solid ground to several definitions - sequential art, graphic novel, the Gutter - which would become basics of the medium - Eisner's work took deeper consideration than anyone before him of the enormous potential the form has, and was an integral part of the artistic revolution is so-called comics.
		While 'Understanding Comics' is friendlier and better suited for beginners and casual readers, 'Comics & Sequential Art' is more complex and more academic, and directed at those with an artistic background - after all, the material was taken from a series of lectures Eisner gave in the School of Visual Arts in New York.

	The Book Review: Comics And Sequential Art
		The term 'sequential art', coined by Eisner, is an obvious and overt attempt to challenge the frivolous, humorous, childish and disposable connotations of the word 'comic', replacing it with a term that is more descriptive and perhaps a little more respectable.
		While Eisner notes how comics can be used to great effect for conveying instructional information, illustrating this point with examples of the technical strips he produced for the US army's Preventative Maintenance Monthly, he does not go as far as to render COMICS AND SEQUENTIAL ART as a comic strip itself.
		His implicit challenge to the generations of comic creators to come, echoed in every page of his book, is to play a part experimenting with the comics medium, to play a part in fulfilling comics' limitless potential.

	Comics and Sequential Art (Simply Comics)
		Along with Understanding Comics, this is the most referenced book that examines the techniques that make comics a unique medium.
		Chapter three opens with this gem: "The phenomenon of duration and experience - commonly referred to as 'time' - is a dimension integral to sequential art." It reads like a textbook, but I think it does that because it tries to overcomplicate things in an attempt to try to gain more respect.
		These really get at the heart of what makes comics a unique medium by examining how the pace of the story is created, what control the artist has and what is expected of the reader.

	Comics as art, art as comics
		A comic is the work of an individual (or more often these days, a committee of sorts) that has something to tell you, and they do it by placing images together for the viewer to see and interpret based on their (the images’) relationships to one another.
		A comic strip is generally published as part of a larger periodical, such as a newspaper or magazine a few panels at a time, and is most frequently written and drawn with the goal of getting laughs.
		The comic book, as its name suggests, is generally a publication unto itself, and has a broader range of uses.
