Scott McCloud has once again transcended the world of comics and tapped into much deeper issues of creativity entertainment and economics. This time he's looking into the future rather than the past."--Will Wright<br><br>"Scott McCloud has got to be just about the smartest guy in comics. Once again, he's opened the floor to a debate that will no doubt go on for years--this time, with not just the definition of comics, but its very fate at stake."--Frank Miller<br><br>'Scott McCloud's <em>Reinventing Comics</em> is a manifesto, and an audacious one, irritating as the grain of sand which may one day produce a pearl. It will provoke a lot of arguments, it will make a lot of people think, and it may ultimately change the world a little--which is, after all, what a manifesto is for."--Neil Gaiman<br>
