Here\u2019s to another week and another episode How Do You Like it So Far? Fans! We have got a very special guest for you this week - Scott McCloud, the author of Understanding Comics, Making Comics, and Reinventing Comics. He met Henry at MIT ages ago and they have been friends ever since! Join Colin and Henry as they discuss comic book fundamentals with McCloud such as \u201cwhat are comics?\u201d and the difference between graphic novels and comic books. They also dive deep into the history of comics with McCloud (did you know that comics are hundreds of years old?!), the difference and confluence of American, Japanese and European comic styles, how the digital revolution is changing the comic book landscape. McCloud reveals how the American comic scene had roots in vaudeville. Artists such as Winsor McCay would incorporate a theatrical element and draw comic panels on stage where each panel was like a \u201ctheater box.\u201d Listen in as McCloud explains how comics take advantage of the composition of memory and how contemporary comics are experimenting with diverse styles and increasingly welcome to women and artists of color. McCloud also predicts that soon female readership will reach critical point! Also, looking for comic book recommendations?
