Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud is a definite, must-read for everyone. I actually think it should be required reading for all people, especially kids in school as it's an incredibly valuable learning tool to teach the fundamentals of not just Comics, but art in general in a clear and enjoyable way. There is just absolutely no way you can get bored learning stuff in this way.

There's a lot of information to be found within the pages here. Far too many to touch upon. But I definitely encourage any and everyone out there to pick this book up. You will not regret it. I read this at least once a year and always find something new that for whatever reason I didn't pick up on. I'm always learning new stuff from this one.
