Also his book "Making comics" is useful to understand visual story making; I am actually half-way through reading it.

It's worth noting Scott McCloud also did the Google Chrome comic - http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

If you're doing any sort of visual storytelling, especially animation or games, you owe it to yourself to read this book.

I'd argue that any UX is visual storytelling.

wow, had this book for years but never took the time to read it. After reading that chess comic I really want to now.
