COMM 203- Scott McCloud

One way that Scott McCloud revolutionized comics was to create new ways to show progression of time.  In comics, this is a vital part of the experience. Like McCloud states in his speech, the author gives you the panels to see, and then lets you imagine what is in between.  This is what aides the experiences that a graphic novel presents. If the "in between" parts were shown, the it would just be a movie with word bubbles. Think about any comic that has been adapted to film... like Kick Ass, or Superman, or Spiderman.
