In the last few years I have read a handful of very good graphic novels. Some of my favorites include "Maus" by Art Spiegelman, "Blankets" by Craig Thompson and "Road to Perdition" by Road to Perdition by Max Allan Collins.
While reading these novels, I kept stumbling across the book "Making Comics" by Scott McCloud. I finally picked up the book this weekend. It is one of the best books about communication I have read in some time. While it purports to teach about comics in particular, it really is a primer on communication styles which attempt to use visual techniques and connect with both the mind and heart of the reader/listener.
If you have to create or give presentations you might enjoy this book too.
