Timing: the Drive of Comic Book Images

Summary/Abstract: The author proposed becoming acquainted with two interpretations of Three Paradoxes, a comic book by Paul Hornschemeier. According to the first approach to the text, intent on discovering the meanings of elements of the story, the construction of comic book narration makes it impossible to ascribe uniform interpretations to sequences of images. The second approach thus proves to indispensable, being focused on an analysis of mechanisms that, creating an obstacle for the former one, deprive the reader of instruments connecting the meanings of the comic text. By circulating around the problem of the depiction of time in the static space of images the author of the article carried out a (re)interpretation of the properties of the comic book story (sequentiality, fragmentariness, timing taken from the classical theory of Will Eisner) as well as certain features of visual narration as a whole.
