      It is actually pretty good book. Don't get tricked by “comics” in the title. Here's Susan Kare mentioning it in her talk (at ≈3:20): https://vimeo.com/97583369

        Aah, I should have spent more time going through the preview in amazon. Thanks for the guidance, I just got more interested in this book. :)

      That book is about how to visually communicate ideas, stories, time, and space. The author goes extremely in depth and discusses everything from the role of modern art to semiotics. While there's a focus on comics, this book is useful for visual design in general. Comics are the interesting intersection of the mediums of text (books) and visuals. This intersection makes it incredibly similar to UI design, which is the intersection of graphic and industrial design.

        I see. Thanks for clearing it out. I did an in depth research on the content and found the same what you said. So, I am suddenly very much interested in this book now.
