While Will Eisner may have created the Declaration of Independence in his work, Comics & Sequential Art, which attempted to legitimate comics as its own art, McCloud has created the Constitution of comic and sequential art. And now his new one builds off the previous two, creating this amazing trilogy on the Art of Comics. His second work, Reinventing Comics: How Imagination and Technology Are Revolutionizing an Art Form, may not have had as high an impact but is just as intense and analytical as his first. His first popular work on comics, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, is a primer for anyone having anything to do with comic books. No one who has ever argued for a lack of intelligence and quality in comic books would ever be capable of debating McCloud. Scott McCloud is a comic book deconstructing genius.
