I guess that I said McCloud's helping a little bit mostly because I'm anxious about embarking on such an ambitious (for me) project. Actually, he has helped me over the years understand the art of comics. There is a certain amount of technical language that he uses that I can understand, but not enough for me to feel comfortable teaching it--at least not yet.

What you said that really helps me is the film idea. I've taught film to my students for years, analyzing composition of shots, camera angles, montage, etc., and so I'll start from there to teach the image in a comic. In fact, since I taught Batman Begins just last year, I can perhaps start from there.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I'm more confident now--just needed someone to slap me upside the head.
