I've recently read a couple of books about comics. Understanding Comics : the Invisible Art by Scott McCloud and Comics & Sequential Art by Will Eisner. Both are worth reading on their own merits.

Web Design
I've recently read a couple of books about comics. Understanding Comics : the Invisible Art by Scott McCloud and Comics & Sequential Art by Will Eisner. Both are worth reading on their own merits.
However, it occurred to me that many of the design principles could also be applied to Web design. Each Web page is much like a comic page, different spaces that are read in a certain order. Then the next page is served/turned. Considering Web design in this way might make for more interesting and reader friendly pages. What the Web needs is an Will Eisner or Walt Kelly to show the way.
