Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Understanding Comics by Scott Mccloud. Recommended by 8 sources.

Starts as a comic that teaches comics, using panels and diagrams to name mechanics such as closure and iconography. Its main usefulness is turning visual storytelling moves—spacing, panel shape, simplification—into immediately visible demonstrations you can look back at while making pages. Limits appear in repeated restatements and examples anchored in older comics traditions, which can read chatty or era-bound. Best read slowly and with the illustrated examples open in view rather than skimmed.
