Thus fаr, we hаve reаd wоrks оf philоsophy in Plato and Marx and Engels. We have read ancient Greek comedy. We have read poetry, short stories, and scripture. And while we briefly read a comic short story, this is our first extended work of comics. As such, I wanted to take a moment on how to read and how to analyze comics. However, before we go forward, I’m curious, what are your experiences with comic books?
If the juxtаpоsitiоn between pаnels is the fundаmental way in which we can understand cоmics, then we need to know how those juxtapositions work and we need a language to understand the images of comics themselves. In Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art (1993), McCloud provides readers with the skills to closely analyze comics and in comic book form. McCloud classifies six types of panel progressions. The first, moment-to-moment, suggests merely the progression of time. Action-to-action progression also suggests the progression of time but focuses on the action taken during that time. This is the most common form of movement in superhero comics. Subject-to-subject progressions move the artist’s “camera” from one subject to another subject and stress a change in focus, but not necessarily always one of time. Like subject-to-subject changes, scene-to-scene progressions are less chronological than geographical as the artist moves the narrative between locations. Aspect-to-aspect progression is about capturing a mood. In the example by McCloud featured here, different aspects of the same dive bar are depicted, the crumpled beer cans, the lout propositioning the less than enthusiastic woman. Finally, the non-sequitur transition is just that, a non-sequitur, with little rhyme or reason between the subject of the two panels. Q: What panel progressions do you see in the panel below?
