When explaining fantasy the other day I had to say "I can't really tell you when fantasy started, because probably the first human thought in the world was about magic." Humans have been fantastical thinkers from day one.

Comics are like chess. There are a lot of moving parts w/deceptively simple rules that need to mesh w/o visible seams for everything to come together properly.

Balloon order, panel order, leading the reader around the page, perspective, character vs. environment focus, and Actually Telling A Story.
