マンガ学 マンガによるマンガのためのマンガ理論 [Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art]

A singular work from 1998, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art is a nonfiction comic that uses its own medium to explore the theory and language of sequential art. Published by 美術出版社, this single-issue volume by creator Scott McCloud remains a foundational text, dissecting how comics communicate through time, space, and the reader's imagination. Its enduring influence lies in its unique, self-referential approach—a comic about comics that has shaped how creators and critics alike understand the art form.
