Just to put in a plug for "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. It's a
analysis
of comics as art, done in comic book format, and it's superb. As he's
discussing
how comics can be used for unique and interesting goals, he's showing by
demonstration
that it's a suitable medium for artistic criticism. Wish he were at a
university
somewhere. Not hard to get; I've seen it in bookstores.
