Comics Terminology

Welcome to Madinkbeard. If you enjoy this post you could subscribe to the RSS feed to receive upcoming posts or browse the archives to see past posts. I also create a twice weekly webcomic called Things Change: The Metamorphoses Comic and an irregularly updated notes blog that contains short quotes, comments, images, or links mostly related to comics and criticism.

Chris Mautner’s latest “Everybody’s Critic” column at Newsarama is called “There is no language in our lungs” and concerns the issue of critical vocabulary/terminology in comics. It includes a (rather long) response from me.

Worth the read.

Matthew Brady offers the idea of some kind of wiki dictionary for comics terms, which is an idea I started on a few months (a year?) back. I never got far though as it was a lot of work to do.
