Scott McCloud is a writer and artist probably best known for:

Understanding Comics, a 215-page comic book about comics that explains the inner workings of the medium and examines many aspects of visual communication along the way;

Reinventing Comics, the controversial 242-page follow-up to Understanding Comics that advocates 12 different revolutions in the way comics are created, distributed and perceived with special emphasis on the potential of Online Comics. Nearly every page seemed to step on somebody's toes, and the debates in the comics industry over comics on the Web have gotten increasingly heated since its publication.
