Scott McCloud gives us a thoroughly brilliant explanation of the unseen workings within the comic book. Graphic Novels are not just the pyro-technics of the draftsmanship, they also embody a history of visual perception and time sense. This time sensibility is not just related to the narrative arc but moreso in the relationships of frames, interactions of words and imagery, compositions, etc.
As we begin our own graphic novel, a reading of chapters 3 (Blood in the Gutter) and 4 (Time Frames) will prove useful. Please read those two chapters and create bullet points of 3 concepts he discusses that intrigue you and may arise in your own novel. Post this writing to your blog.
