Comics are actually quite cool

I've always had an appreciation for comic books, or graphic novels - whatever you prefer to call them. Although it's more out of admiration for the artistry than anything else. To be honest, I've never really given them enough time to understand why people get so fanatical about them. Until a read this post.

It's from a presentation by Jack Schultz done at Interesting 2007. Its made me look at comics in a completely different light - they seem a lot less geeky than they did before. In fact, I would go as far as saying they're pretty cool.

Jack discusses things such as 'hypertime' and 'The bleed', which are essentially complicated storytelling techniques and manipulating the physical form of the comic to add another layer to the experience. Well worth reading, even if you aren't in to comics.
