		McCloud’s line began with Understanding Comics in the early ‘90s, which laid out his theories of comic book art.
		This time out, McCloud is going back to the root of the tree he’s already explored.
		Or – think about his restating the above: “That’s one of the most fundamental goals in most storytelling in comics – for the reader to lose themselves in the work, and to be in the world of the story and in the minds of the characters, and forget that they’re looking at lines on paper.

	Amazon.ca: Reinventing Comics: Books: Scott McCloud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Scott McCloud's Reinventing Comics, the sequel to his groundbreaking work Understanding Comics, is a study of two revolutions: a failed one and a potential one.
		McCloud, author of Understanding Comics, a classic exploration of how this unique art form actually works, now uses his impressive insight and admirable clarity to map out "12 revolutions," which, he believes, need to take place for comics to survive and finally be recognized as a legitimate art form.
		McCloud conveys clearly that he wants to stay at home and create masterpeices untainted by monetary, social, or racial boundaries and very poorly any real means of attaining these ends, all while very conveintly avoiding the subject of comic art.

	Scott McCloud Interview
		McCloud is coming to St. Louis Wednesday to give a slide presentation and lecture at Washington University's Lambert Lounge at 8 p.m.
		McCloud is familiar with the contempt most people have for comics.
		McCloud can indeed work in several different styles, and he includes bits and pieces of them in his book, but for "Understanding Comics" he primarily used a very "cartoony" style, particularly in the caricature of himself that narrates the book.

	The Comics Journal: Interviews
		He also invented "the 24-hour comic," a test of cartooning ingenuity and skill that requires the cartoonist to produce 24 pages of a comic book in as many hours.
		McCloud's apprenticeship in the comic book industry was short.
		McCloud had not yet completed Understanding Comics but he was close to finishing it.

	Comic Book Artist Magazine #8 - Scott McCloud Interview - TwoMorrows Publishing
		Part science-fiction strip, part romance comic, Scott's title is one of the most fondly-recalled books, and we're grateful he took time from his extremely hectic schedule (preparing the final proof for his forthcoming Reinventing Comics) to grant us an interview.
		SCOTT: I had enormous faith in the power of pure, creative freedom, and in a purely creative endeavor, which the minis frequently were.
		SCOTT: Well, maybe, as far as the fl-and-white titles go, but remember, there was the b-and-w boom and bust, and Eclipse did their best to take advantage of that period to shore up their always troublesome bank accounts.

	Scott McCloud and Online Comics
		The man is Scott McCloud and what he's actually trying to do is explain to the audience the potential of online comics.
		It was in 1993 that McCloud published Understanding Comics, a book he wrote that defines the medium of comics and covers their history.
		Unfortunately, much to McCloud's dismay, early comics on the web were little more than scanned comic pages placed on webpages, with a little "next button" to help the reader move on to the next page (Example).

	COMICON.com: SCOTT McCLOUD & SUPERMAN: STRENGTH
		Scott McCloud is returning to familiar territory in Superman: Strength a three-part prestige limited series set to debut in early '05.
		McCloud will make sure it is technically precise but I have become a little weary of the last few prestige series DC has released.
		I think that Scott's artwork would have been as refreshing and engaging on Superman as Darwyn Cooke's was in that Schwartz-tribute story written by Stan Lee.

	Boing Boing: Making Comics: Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" for creators
		I just finished reading Scott McCloud's magnificent Making Comics, a comic book for people who want to write comic books, or for those of us who want to know about what goes into making a comic.
		McCloud is a great explainer, someone who makes the subject come to life -- even for someone like me, who'll likely never draw or write a comic.
		Like any author, McCloud doesn't know exactly how he does what he does, and in the tradition of the best books about creating, this is a book where McCloud asks himself hard questions about how and why he tells his own stories.

	COMICON.com: SCOTT McCLOUD's JLA
		McCloud's got lots of ideas for the world's greatest heroes and this issue of JL Adventures is just the beginning.
		I noticed that Scott McCloud referred to himself as one of the creators appearing in Prophecy Magazine on their website, but I didn't know it would be a regular gig for him!
		I wish Scott eould do more print comics, (like he's doing now) because as interesting as the webcomics are, his print stuff had a habit of coming out more regularly.

		When I saw that Scott McCloud had a new book out and was on tour promoting it, I immediately started writing a post about it (then Firefox crashed and other things happened, etc. and I didn't go back to it).
		Of course the most amazing part of the lecture was after the lecture, when Scott McCloud actually took the time to look at my work.

		Ironically, the importance of UC as a scholarly work has put it in more outlets than almost any other comic, since it is a regular part of the inventory of bookstore chains such as Borders and Barnes and Noble.
		Comics and technology are true passions for him, and whether or not his current ideas prove valuable, he’s sure to keep looking to the future of comics as he develops new ones.
		While we are novice interviewers, our fascination with McCloud’s work was rewarded in this interview, and we both left with a profound respect for his abilities as a theoretician, a creator, and, above all, a reader of comics.

		McCloud, because he showed up without any books – not “Making Comics,” not “Understanding Comics,” not “Reinventing Comics.” In other words, if anyone wanted to own a signed copy of one of McCloud’s books, they had to have brought it with them to the Expo.
