How to Read Nancy by Mark Newgarden

How to Read Nancy by Mark Newgarden

Everything that you need to know about reading, making, and understanding comics can be found in a single Nancy strip by Ernie Bushmiller from August 8, 1959. Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden s groundbreaking work How to Read Nancy ingeniously isolates the separate building blocks of the language of comics through the deconstruction of a single strip. No other book on comics has taken such a simple yet methodical approach to laying bare how the comics medium really works. No other book of any kind has taken a single work by any artist and minutely (and entertainingly) pulled it apart like this. How to Read Nancy is a completely new approach towards deep-reading art. In addition, How to Read Nancy is a thoroughly researched history of how comics are made, from their creation at the drawing board to their ultimate destination at the bookstore. Textbook, art book, monogram, dissection, How to Read Nancy is a game changer in understanding how the simplest drawings grab us and never leave. Perfect for students, academics, scholars, and casual fans.

Mark Newgarden and Megan Montague Cash created Bow-Wow Bugs a Bug (Harcourt), which won the Gold Award in the Society of Illustrators' Original Art Show in 2007, and other honors.

Megan is an illustrator, author, and designer who specializes in work for children. Her clients have ranged from the Museum of Modern Art to Nickelodeon and projects have included award-winning toys, games, paper-engineered products, corporate identities, and exhibit designs.
