McCloud, "Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels"

== Summary ==
In Making Comics, McCloud introduces practical help for effective visual storytelling. He writes that comics require choices, such as those in terms of dialogue,composition, gesture, etc. These choices, however, are the responsibility of the writers and artists to fulfill, as opposed to other media. He breaks down the choices into:
=== Choice of Moment ===
The content of the comic, what to leave in, what to leave out.
=== Choice of Frame ===
Where to trim and crop the moments, and from what angle and distance to view them.
=== Choice of Image ===
The characters, objects, and environments that will be rendered in the story. Here is where choices of drawing style can be made.
=== Choice of Word ===
This includes dialogue, captions and important information.
=== Choice of Flow ===
Flow of the panels in the work that guide readers through the pages.
