Scott McCloud

Fifty-five year-old Scott McCloud is an American cartoonist and comic theorist from Massachusetts. He first decided he would like to be a cartoonist during his time at high school when a friend, Kurt Busiek, who is also a cartoonist, sparked his interest in comics.
He is actually best known for his non-fiction books about comics. Another huge achievement of McCloud's career was his 'invention', the '24 hour comic'. It was a challenge to create a 24 page comic in 24 hours on the run, the aim was to encourage creative productivity without restrictive contemplation or over-thinking that time allows.
Personally, I really like his illustrative style, as it is simple yet detailed at the same time. I also appreciate the lack of colour, I think it can draw the viewer's eyes to the form of the drawings, rather than bright colours, making them more expressive.
