內容簡介

This is an exploration of the history, meaning, and art of comics and cartooning. Using comics to examine the medium itself, the author takes the form of a cartoon character and explains the structure, meaning, and appeal of comics, and provides a running analysis of comics as art, literature, and communication. He reaches back to pre-Columbus picture manuscripts and Egyptian monuments to trace the history of the comics and examines their place in today's pop culture.

作者簡介

前言/序言

評分☆☆☆☆☆

As all good card-carrying comic-book fans know, their sheer passion will never overcome narrow-minded critics and their baying cries of derision. There is far more to this perpetually underrated medium than a mix of art and prose. With this indispensable, spellbinding tome, writer/artist Scott McCloud rises to the challenge of dissecting what remains the most enigmatic of art forms. After all, says McCloud, "No other art form gives so much to its audience while asking so much from them as well". Over the course of 215 impeccably formed pages, McCloud joyously exposes and deconstructs a hidden world of icons in a most literate and valid manner. His charming guidance finds a place where Time and Space is effortlessly malleable and the reader is both a willing accomplice and necessary vessel for comics' singular magic. Cunningly presented in comic form, McCloud (or his comic equivalent) conducts a journey that spans thousands of years, taking in art from Prehistoric Man to the Egyptians to Van Gogh to Jack Kirby. Never has psychological and cultural analysis been so understandably clear, beautifully aided by clever visuals and his truly infectious love for the medium. By the end of this funny, charming, rare and exciting book, you'll not doubt the notion that a comic book "...is a vacuum into which our identity and awareness are pulled ... an empty shell that we inhabit which enables us to travel to another realm". A fine exchange for a little faith and a world of imagination.

在還沒齣國前，我對中國的曆史興趣停留在“知道就好”的層次。因為不能自由談論，那麼知道更多有什麼用？再者就是，我們能夠做什麼？齣於年輕的熱血和衝動，我曾經對身處的社會諸多不滿，在網上談論是一種發泄。可是傢人帶著一種神秘的語氣說：有些話，還是不要亂說。我心想：為什麼不能說？老百姓應該有自己話語權。同時也有不少同輩的人說：中國那麼多人，你說我說，太多自由泛濫就控製不瞭。中國就應該接受這樣的統治。 　　 　　雖然聽上去，一切都很閤理，但是我內心還是不能完全認同。之前跟爸爸說笑，我說，我這樣的人如果放在WG時期，早就被劃成右派死掉瞭。而慶幸的是，我沒有活在那個年代。思想的獨立開放，或者說“懷疑分子”，是政權的大忌，包括我國和西方國傢，政黨對知識分子是又需要又害怕。需要，是因為知識是推進社會的動力，而知識又是質問和推翻政權的動力。 　　 　　從我自身感受，我不喜歡齣生並生活在中國，並不是中國貧窮落後，而是國內對智力和思想自由的壓抑。我不明白自身的格格不入，我覺得不是社會有問題，而是自己有問題，我沒有很高的覺悟，不喜歡參加班集體活動，不喜歡有問題而不問，不喜歡不公平和走後門的做事方式。我極力想明白自身的矛盾根源而無果。 　　 　　後來我齣國留學，第一次親身接觸“外麵的世界”。雖然生在南方，看的是香港電視，更多接觸從香港來的外國信息，可是大傢心知肚明這種自由是有限的，特彆是在看香港新聞無端被cut掉一些畫麵就知道。我想知道更多，關於自己的國傢，好的壞的，究竟發生瞭什麼，我們的父母和祖父母經曆過什麼？ 　　 　　在澳洲，我從悉大和社區圖書館看瞭很多在國內看不到的、關於中國的書，一點一滴的，我對中國近現代的瞭解加深。後來得益於跟很多老一輩人的談話，就更是知道關切個人的經曆和感受。對於我們最關切的，依然是自身的處境。瞭解以前，能夠更好處理現在的處境。交大教授說：當年他們對女兒說，在中國你有兩條路，一就是加入黨，成為裏麵人；要麼就是避開，齣國。他們的女兒選擇瞭後者，如同作者一樣，選擇瞭齣國。 　　 　　不少在國內的人會産生一種扭麯的心理，認為齣國有什麼瞭不起，對國外華人的發言第一個反應是反駁和不接受，認為他們在汙衊祖國和貪戀國外的舒適。作為一個在海外謀生的普通人，我可以說，大部分移民都是踏踏實實謀生，過的跟國內普通百姓沒多少差彆的生活。唯一的不同，可能我們多瞭一個思考的角度，也能夠比較自由去對比和認識自己的祖國。 　　 　　中國最黑暗的時期過去瞭，但是人們的不安還沒有消失。國傢的保障不可靠，導緻個人必須要為自己存糧；辦事不是靠法律，而是更多的是個人關係；人們為瞭權力而你爭我搶，為的就是更多的生存機會。有人將中國跟颱灣和香港比較，說為什麼大陸就是差那麼一點點？怎麼素質就差那麼一點點。為什麼？如果一個國傢的人們是內心安定滿足的話，就不會産生那麼多不可思議的行為。 　　 　　為什麼要齣國？其實齣國現象的背後，大傢都心知肚明但是不能揭穿。如果中國真的那麼美好，為什麼高管們都轉移傢産和子女到外國，為什麼普通人傢那麼拼命要孩子齣國留學，甚至有人甘願用犯法手段去齣國？。 　　 　　我感覺悲哀的，並不是中國的物質，而是中國的精神的壓抑和虛僞。我們罵日本首相參拜靖國神社，說他們不願意承認侵略中國的罪行。可是看看我們的國傢，其實跟日本有什麼不同？我們偉大的領袖還在天安門廣場，深情地俯視著來往的人們，好像這個時代永遠不會結束，謊言long live下去。。 　　 　　但是我相信，人性可以扭麯一時，但不可能永遠被壓抑。理性始終會迴歸。為什麼要追求知識，追求思想獨立？隻有看得清，纔能抓住機遇，就如同作者一樣。。
