You may refer Marshall McLuhan's //Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man//.

==I do agree with McLuhan when he defines comics as an extension of photographic media. Comics are similar to the film’s storyboard despite of the different sized of the frames. The framing elements of comic, such as camera angle, are very similar to the techniques of photography. Furthermore, the text in the comic also acts as the same function as the voice and sound in the film. The only difference is reader got the audio experience by the viewing instead of the original audio source. Therefore, comics creates more psychic-space to the audience comparing to representation of photographic media, like film. In addition, Comics is a sequence of images in representation of time which is more subjective to the readers than the author. ==
