Welcome to the home page for Comics Anatomy, our long-running feature on comics craft and visual storytelling. Brought to you by features editor Harry Kassen and a wide range of guest writers, Comics Anatomy focuses on one comic at a time, diving deep into the how work is put together, demonstrating the ways that comics function as a collaborative storytelling form, with all elements acting together to create a satisfying and effective whole.
