Reason to open this article again

[edit]

The late Will Eisner, author of the term, which is used in Wikipedia anyway, pointed out that Comics are not Sequential art but the printed form of it that includes text boxes, and dialog balloons.

Explaining Sequential Art in the Comics article is as senseless and confusing as explaining Literature in the Poetry article.

To do list

[edit]
  • Verify and eliminate or expand and source the affirmations made by previous editors.
  • Elaborate on the story of the term, and perhaps include the root words of "sequential" and "art".
  • Open a section to elaborate on the different types of sequential art, including comics.

Anything else?

the trick

[edit]

Ok, there's the trick: the "Sequential art" article has to summarize all the work done in various mediums and the "comics" article, in contrats, only has to mention that it's an evolution that came and belong to the sequential art.

Sequential sculpture

[edit]

Hi, regarding sequential sculpture, Bryan Talbot mentions Craig Knowles (artist)' Taking Flight (Alice in Sunderland, p. 105). [1]. There are other sequential sculptures, such as Zenos Frudakis' Freedom (2001, GlaxoSmithKline World Headquarters, Philadelphia) [2] or Dion Wright's Evolution of Birds (Arizona/Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson) [3]. Should that be mentioned here? And does anybody know of more instances? --Jonas kork (talk) 07:34, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images

[edit]

I thought about the images used for the article. Considering that the criterion is that the art should consist of a cohesive sequence, it isn't particularly illustrative that all illustrations are of single image, and that Will Eisner drawing seems to be cover art, thus not really sequential to begin with. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 15:51, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
