Came across a copy of Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics in a cupboard at work. It's in pristine condition and I assume I'm its first reader. Cannot understand whoever bought it originally not wanting to read it. A brilliant exposition of how comics work by a brilliant maker of comics. What's not to like?
(Small extra point: If you're feeling a bit low it pays to turn to the work of someone who's really talented and happily sharing that talent with the world. It just brightens things up somehow, even if you're jealous of the lucky soul with all the talent you haven't got.)
