Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. **Nominated for the 2021 Eisner Award for Best Academic/Scholarly Work**Drawings and sequential images are so pervasive in contemporary society that we may take their understanding for granted. But how transparent are they really, and how universally are they understood? Combining recent advances from linguistics, cognitive science, and clinical psychology, this book argues that visual narratives involve greater complexity and require a lot more decoding than widely thought.
