– These are simply approaches to picture creating, which is not fully what the medium of comics are. So, the definition comes to be “ Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer” (20). And lastly, McCloud wants to define how comics use a combination of pictures and words to tell a story and that words are tiny images. He tries to specify the type of art ‘sequential art’ is referring to by creating the definition of ‘sequential visual art.’ The problem that then McCloud faces when defining comics is the uniqueness of how comics are spatially juxtaposed in that “each frame of comics must occupy a different space” (7). Eisner’s definition lacked any “matters of style, quality or subject matter” (McCloud 5). M cCloud doesn’t settle with this definition, though. With this form, the reader receives a story, like a comic book does. Sequential Art: Without the second image this would not be sequential art.
