Why I fall in love with comic? There are other storytelling medium, prose, movie, theatre etc. There are more medium to express your idea and feeling. What make comic special compared to other?

I believe its because comics have this unique position. I believe as art, as a medium, comic is just as glorious as fine art, music, film, photography, poem or prose. But somehow comic is considered lower compared to the previous other. That's why I'm attracted to comic more than other form of medium.

Another reason is that comic has many hidden aspects that the reader can't directly see it but those aspects is absolutely important to make a comic appealing. Reading a comic for me is almost like watching a magician do his/her tricks. He/she did it, I dont know how but he/she did it anyway. I don't exatcly know how a comic creator could almost draw me to be involved with his comic but somehow he did.

As you read more and more comics you will see that some are successfully draw their reader to be involved with their comic while some not ranging from certain levels to another levels. And its not as easily judged that successfull one have a more depth story or plot compared to those who did not. Or the one that succeed is drawn better than the one that not.

It is more than just pictures or writing. Something else is there. I have read a lot of comic and try to understand this. I read Scott McLoud about understanding comics. But even then I still could not grasp the art of making a comic and even harder to implement it as I make the comic. I believe it could be a lifetime effort for one to fully grasp this whole art.

And the thought I hate most is that probably someone out there grasp all the principal and mastered this art easily. Leaving me forever stucked in the world of mediocrity.
