    ^^^ @Nairn

    I don't know about better (or even more recent) than that book, it's excellent, but I think there a few others worth your time:

    1/ How Comics Work
    by Dave Gibbons and Tim Pilcher

    2/ The Will Eisner books –

    Comics and Sequential Art
    and
    Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative

    There is a third book, but I believe it was cobbled together posthumously and it shows. It's not a patch on the first two.

    3/ Something a bit different and a bit extreme (but it's a good read)

    Cerebus Guide to Self Publishing
    by Dave Sim

    He's crazy and his main theory seems to be you have to dedicate your life to the art (at the expense of EVERYTHING else) or you aren't really doing it right. But his description of the craft is great.
