"[W]hen I think about the form of comics and what to me makes comics unique as a medium, one of the most important things to me is that you’ve got multiple images on the same page. If you have one image on a page, on every page, I would call that a picture book; when you have more than one image on a page appearing at the same time in your field of vision, that, to me, is comics. And I think that’s a very interesting aspect of comics because when you have a number of panels on a single page, the reader can read them in the order they are intended to be read, but can also see all of them at once, and move around the page, so as the artist you can create a page or a two-page sequence that encompasses something —" (TCJ 300 Conversations: David Mazzucchelli and Dash Shaw , 2009)
