Comics are thought by some to be an art form, also known as sequential art, although whether they are an art form or are merely a medium in which sequential art is practised is still a matter of debate amongst creators, scholars and readers.
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.
The narration of a comic is set out through the layout of the images, and whilst there may be many people who work on one work, like films, there is one vision of the narrative which guides the work.

Wong uses actor Tony Leung as his playboy figure, Chow, a Chinese journalist who, with a hint of regret, is musing on his muses.
Postmodernist that he is, Wong doesn't merely tell several love stories; the little fl book of Chow's libido becomes a classically stylized (1960s-based) way of analyzing the nature of all love affairs.
