    <body><![CDATA[A comic book about comic books. McCloud, in an incredibly accessible style, explains the details of how comics work: how they're composed, read and understood. More than just a book about comics, this gets to the heart of how we deal with visual languages in general. &quot;The potential of comics is limitless and exciting!&quot; writes McCloud. This should be required reading for every school teacher. Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Spiegelman says, &quot;The most intelligent comics I've seen in a long time.&quot;]]></body>
