• Since the early 1990s the growth of the World Wide Web has had its impact on comics. Not only has it proved an infinite platform for comic artists to show their work, it also provided a whole new canvas for comic artists to draw their comics on, using new computer techniques such as 3D and animation. One of the first to signal this development was Scott McCloud, whose 'Understanding Comics' and 'Reinventing Comics' have become standard works. He has opened the eyes of many comic artists to the possibilities technology provides for the comics medium.

Camera AnglesThe term camera angle means slightly different things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is composed. It means the angle between the camera and the subject. We will concentrate on the literal interpretation of camera angles, that is, the angle of the camera relative to the subject.

ONOMATOPOEIAS (CLIC, CRASH, BOOM, BANG, MIAAAU, GUAU, GRRRRR,…)

The panels above are not uniform in shape or size. Pictorial elements, such as the gun in the fifth panel and the purple-suited figure and motion lines in the bottom two panels, cross the gutter separating the panels and co-exist in multiple panels. These graphic moves suggest interesting spatial and temporal juxtapositions and facilite visual transitions from panel to panel, breaking down the clear separation of narrative moments and instigating a flow approaching (though still very far removed from) the rapid frame-to-frame transitions found in film
