There were a total of 36 issues, with the first ten in color and the remainder in black and white.

Zot! is a comic book created by Scott McCloud in 1984 and published by Eclipse Comics until 1990 as a lighthearted alternative to the darker and more violent comics that dominated the industry during that period. Zot!: The Complete Black and White Collection: 1987–1991 Superhero, Science Fiction, Romance, Drama Art should be open to discussion and should be, timeless and limitless.#11 was the first black & white issue of Zot!, effectively a reboot of the series written to stand independently from the first ten issues in color. And comic books is such a good form of art and its value is definitely underestimated. You could resonate with them and echo with them. It means that you need to be able to respond to “them”. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the author is “talking” to you. In my perspective, good art should be interactive. This book makes me reconsider my opinions on comic books. Personally, I have a very strong feeling for visual arts like photography or videos. What Scott McCloud stresses is: the comic books have a narrative-like quality and visual direction to them. But you cannot really tell which one is better - they have their own artistic values. It is a much more complex process than watching animations.

They read the images, and connect them with their own knowledge and past experiences, then form their own interpretation of the book. It is the readers’ freedom to imagine and interpret the book the way they like. The images are open to scrutiny and discussion, but the author will never offer a fixed answer. So that a lot of other artistic values and interpretations need to be done in our minds. They only offer images and very few words. Just like the way what Scott McCloud discusses in the book: novels or the actual book. They provide much more details and information to us so that understanding them is easy. The animation is very direct and presents us the world the way we perceive the world, just like the television works or movie productions. Now I rewind the experience of watching animations and reading comic books, I discover where went wrong. But after reading Understanding Comics, my thoughts toward comic books shifted. It seems to me that I fell into the stereotype of what Scott McCloud describes in the text, comic books are only for entertaining and they are not useful compared to novels or other books. I would spend a whole day watching animations but I would yawn after reading a few pages of comic books. Comic books have never interested me before.
