What is a comic book narrative?
How do we tell any kind of story?
In the first part of this book, David Macpherson, has attempted a new way to tell a comic book story. He made a pile of 105 random comics and wrote about what was happening in the 27th panel of the comic. He then went to the next comic and wrote down what he saw in that 27th panel. And so on.
It tells a broken story that doesn't completely adhere in the way you might want it to. But it can surprise and soar.
The second part of the book gives the information of each of the 105 comic books used in this experiment. In addition to the creative teams, the entries go into information and trivia about these comics. This part is akin to a guy showing you his favorite comics and you know he has a story for each of these comics.
Two different ways to look at comics here in the 12th Issue of The Comic Book Hinterlands.
